Historic Preservation Awards 

2010 Award Winners | 2011 Award Winners

This program is intended to foster greater public awareness of the importance of Historic Preservation in Orlando. The Historic Preservation Awards recognize property owners who take an active role in preserving and protecting their historic structures and the integrity of the City’s historic districts through appropriate additions and renovations to existing historic structures and compatible new construction in historic districts.

The annual Historic Preservation Awards program recognizes the place that our historic resources have within our City Beautiful and the hard work that goes into rehabilitating and preserving these resources so that they may be enjoyed today and for many generations to come.

We would like to thank everyone who submitted for this year’s awards and we encourage you to check back in January 2012 for details on the 2012 competition to be awarded during May, which is National Historic Preservation Month.
