Historic Preservation Awards PDF Print E-mail

One of HRPS goals is to recognize those individuals and organizations in our community committed to preservation. HRPS presented its first award in 2000 to the Reno Quakers for their work in rehabilitating a 1920s brick home at 497 Highland Avenue for their meeting house.

We encourage community residents to join HRPS members in nominating individuals and/or organizations that have contributed in one or more of the following ways to preserving Reno's historic context by:

  • Restoring and entering into reuse, at least one significant old building;
  • Enhancing neighborhood plans, guidelines and/or zoning to benefit preservation efforts;
  • Conducting and publishing research, conserving and cataloguing photographs, collecting and archiving oral histories;
  • Building a new structure in an older neighborhood that works harmoniously within the existing context.

Please use this application form to nominate and individual or organization for the HRPS Historic Preservation Award.
