This year the NRF will honor the following projects:
The Cattle Crib, located on Beach Hill Road, is being recognized for its adaptive reuse of a former early 20th-century livestock pen. The award was given to property owners Mark and Leslie Hull. The building was built in 1916.
The project at 26-30 Washington Square was recognized for “successfully reinvigorating a commercial space” in Washington Square. The award will be given to Washington Square LLC. The building was built in 1931.
The award for the Blue Garden project, which was built from 1911-1918 and located on Beacon Hill Road, was posthumously awarded to Dorrance “Dodo” Hill Hamilton. The project is being recognized for rebuilding a original historic landscape design to fit modern standards.
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at Rough Point in Newport on Sept. 7.
The organization also said it will confer a special honor upon John Peixinho for being the inspiration behind the Doris Duke awards.
Tickets to the event are available online.
