Join us to find out who is the best of the best in preservation throughout Western New York. Find out who will take home The Louise Bethune Award for Outstanding Project, which up-and-coming preservationist will take home The Mary Talbert Award for Emerging Preservation Leader, and many more!
The awards will take place on May 19th at The Eleanor and Wilson Greatbatch Pavilion, a luminous space designed by Toshiko Mori which offers a dramatic sweeping view of famed local landmark, the Darwin D.
