Join us to celebrate the best in local preservation at the Cathedral of All Saints, 62 South Swan Street on Wednesday, September 25th from 5:30-7pm!

Since 1976, Historic Albany Foundation has given annual awards for projects, individuals and organizations that demonstrate excellence in and a commitment to preservation. We are thrilled to recognize these individuals and groups for their strong commitment to Albany’s historic architecture, often in the face of serious challenges. We recognize a variety of projects and people each year, from large vacant building restorations to smaller projects that made the choice to repair and restore rather than gut and replace. 

This year, we celebrate fourteen projects and three individuals. We are thrilled to recognize two award winning projects that were on Historic Albany Foundation’s Endangered Historic Resources List for over a decade and are now saved! Award winning projects are in the Center Square/Hudson Park, South End/Groesbeckville, Mansion, Washington Park, Washington Avenue Corridor Historic Districts, and newly minted Steamboat Square Historic District in the South End Neighborhood, as well as in the not yet listed Pine Hills and Delaware Area Neighborhoods. The Turner Farm in Loudonville is now an individually listed landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.
