2021-22 Historic Preservation Awards

Historic Kansas City began honoring individuals and groups with Historic Preservation Awards nearly forty years ago. Our annual Historic Preservation Awards program celebrates the people who make preservation happen: dedicated homeowners, insightful architects, creative developers, and visionary leaders.
 

Each award recipient represents a model that others can look to for meeting the challenges of preservation. As a group, the recipients represent the many and varied ways preservation is accomplished in our community. They include exciting adaptive use projects, the tireless efforts of dedicated homeowners, threatened buildings that have been saved from destruction, and the lifetime efforts of a committed preservationist. Through this awards program, Historic Kansas City congratulates our award recipients and thanks them for their contribution to preserving Kansas City’s architectural heritage.

SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, October 5th @ 5:30 PM
