Preservation Awards
Since 1984, Historic York, Inc. has recognized quality preservation projects completed in York County. In all, we have recognized 109 projects that exemplify sound restoration, conservation and adaptive reuse practices. There are so many businesses, non-profit organizations, municipalities and homeowners working hard to care for the county’s historic buildings. There has been a wide variety of past award winners from the reuse of large industrial complexes to the restoration of public commemorative sculpture, although I believe that this year is the first time we have recognized a tunnel. These projects are judged for their adherence to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Rehabilitation and their sensitivity to the historic features of the building.
