Preservation Nomination

 WANTED: Preservation Award Nominations

The Sacramento Art Deco Society endeavors to bestow Preservation Awards to honor the preservation of buildings, art, and culture from the Art Deco era. This award may extend to people or buildings outside of Sacramento. It may reflect a mix of public and private buildings, as well as individuals who have preserved the art and culture of the era. Awards are given to individuals or businesses as well as to buildings. We also appreciate updates on any of our former award winners. We are always looking for nominees, so keep your eyes open throughout the year to make a nomination. Our preservation committee needs to know what is distinctive about your nominee. So include any and all information that you can find: 

• Short biography or history, if it is a person or organization that you are nominating.
• History of a building: Who built it and when? Are there other works by this architect?
• Condition: Is a restoration in process or recently completed? Has the building been kept up or is it a neglected treasure?
• Give the owner or manager of the building and cite the architectural details.
• Send a photo if possible and label with information and address.
