2017 Preservation Awards

22nd Annual Celebration

Awards were presented on May 7 in the Ballroom of the Lucie Stern Community Center. To celebrate PAST's 30th anniversary and the history of preservation in Palo Alto, Margaret Feuer spoke about the history of the preservation movement, Brian George mentioned the highlights of PAST's 30 years, Karen Hollman spoke on why we should preserve local history, and Steve Staiger reminded us what happened in 1917. After presentation of centennial plaques, preservation awards were made to six outstanding projects and then we finished the afternoon with strawberry shortcake!

345 Lincoln Avenue

The renovation of this Professorville landmark residence creates an inviting and compatible addition that connects the home directly to the gardens, creating seamless flow between interior and exterior. The property’s water tower was relocated and integrated as a key feature of the home, housing the main staircase that connects all levels, leading up to an office overlooking Palo Alto.

345 Forest Avenue

The historic rehabilitation of this downtown Palo Alto icon included the removal of invasive vines in order to provide a comprehensive restoration of its character-defining ornamental concrete façade. Historic windows and railings were restored and the first floor was seismically upgraded. New storefronts and windows were added to the first floor that are compatible with the original design and provide maximum light to interior spaces.
