Palo Alto Stanford Heritage
Preservation Awards
Preservation awards have been awarded since 1998 to honor preservationists and owners of homes and businesses who respectfully care for their buildings so they will endure to be appreciated by generations to come. Each year PAST recognizes significant contributions to maintaining our architectural heritage with preservation awards. Honorees range from Victorian to Mid–Century Modern!
Search for winners by name, address, or by year. The 2021 awards were announced November 7, 2021. (Due to Covid-19, no awards were made in 2020.)
* No awards were made in 2014 or 2020.
The 2019 Preservation Award was presented to the Fowler Mansion, a Palo Alto residential treasure now identified as 1170 Ramona Street. This large shingled Colonial Revival home was built at 221 Kingsley Avenue in 1902 by Gustav Laumeister.
Over the years, the property was subdivided leaving this house with a too large front lawn. The current owners, Max and Nahid Keech, had the house rotated so it now faces Ramona Street. The event was held on Sunday, May 5 at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell Road. We also announced centennial plaques to homes built in 1919. The featured speaker was local architect Daniel Garber, FAIA.
