2013 Hinsdale Preservation Awards

In celebration of National Preservation Month in May, the Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission is calling for nominations for the 2013 Hinsdale Preservation Awards. 

Award Categories 

Preservation: Any existing structure (home or business) more than 50 years old whose architecture has not been significantly altered by remodeling or additions, and whose appearance has been maintained to conform to and be consistent with the time period in which the structure was originally built. Nominees will be judged on overall appearance and how well the structure conforms to a recognized historic architectural style.

Compatible Addition: Any existing structure (home or business) more than 50 years old that has undergone a renovation or had an addition completed within the last two years. Nominees will be judged based on overall appearance and the consistency of the renovation/addition with that of the original architectural style and structure. 

Good Neighbor: Any new (five years or less) structure whose architectural style is compatible with the existing historic architectural styles present in the surrounding neighborhood. Nominees will be judged on overall appearance and the degree to which the new structure visually blends with and enhances the existing community. 

A panel of judges with backgrounds in architecture and preservation will determine the winners of the above categories. Nominated structures will only be viewed from the outside.

DEADLINE: April 12th, 2013
