Since 2000, the Historic Districts Council has honored more than 150 individuals, community groups, coalitions, elected officials, and press outlets for their achievements. This year, HDC will celebrate over two decades of the tradition to recognize, honor, and encourage public participation in the preservation process. Join us on Thursday, June 18th from 6-8 PM for our 26th Grassroots Preservation Awards. This year’s event will take place at an iconic example of steadfast preservation efforts, St. Bart’s Community House, and individual landmark as part of the St. Bart’s campus and completed in 1928 to designs by Bertram Goodhue.
Successful historic preservation efforts in New York City require collaboration amongst many parties, including the public, government agencies, and private sector entities. Grassroots Award recipients work on the ground, in public service, in communities, and online to bring attention and resources to saving the heart and soul of New York City. The 2026 honorees will be announced soon and we will also present the 2026 Jeffrey Kroessler Student Research Award to this year’s recipient(s).
