fbpx 34th Annual Preservation Achievement Awards | Boston Preservation Alliance

The best way to preserve a space is by making it useful. This collection of six outstanding preservation projects does just that. Each one brings life to tired corners allowing a new generation of Bostonians to create memories of these historic places and spaces. Crumbling parking lots host neighborhood events. Old utility buildings foster entrepreneurship. A gutted neighborhood home is reimagined to serve as a dwelling of the 21st-century. These projects are not only useful spaces but are useful in telling the story of Boston.
 

This year’s festivities will be held on the evening of Thursday, October 20, 2022, at the Speedway. Save the date!


We will be continually updating this page. Stay tuned to hear who will be the recipients of the President’s Award For Excellence and Codman Award For Lifetime Achievement.
