PROVIDENCE – The Providence Preservation Society named its 2019 Preservation awards Tuesday.
This year, the awards were given to eight properties, selected from 40 submissions. Awards were selected by a jury of preservation and design professionals in New Orleans, the organization said.
“The impressive field of 40 submissions represents the diversity of projects underway in Providence – from adaptive reuse downtown to infill in the I-195 and Jewelry Districts,” said Rachel Robinson, Providence Preservation Society director of preservation. “The jury found the quality of preservation activity in our city compelling.”
Projects were required to have been completed between Sept. 1, 2016, and Aug. 31, 2019. Awarded projects were honored for exemplifying “new life brought to buildings and neighborhoods in the city.”
This year’s awards were given to the following projects:
- The Pavilion at Grace Church, located at 300 Westminster St.
