JCHS preservation awards
PORT TOWNSEND — Nominations for the Jefferson County Historical Society’s annual Historic Preservation Awards are due Saturday, March 31.
Nomination forms can be accessed by visiting www.JCHSMuseum.org or picked up at the society’s headquarters in historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
The awards honor individuals and organizations that restore original structures or preserve traditions that form the historic fabric of Jefferson County.
Two types of awards are presented.
The Mary P. Johnson Award awards historic structure projects that meet the secretary of Interior’s standards for restoration.
Certificates of Appreciation are given for a variety of preservation and restoration projects and are not limited to physical structures.
Any project can be awarded, and anyone can nominate a project.
All nominations will be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Awards Committee.
Previously, awards have gone to such major projects as restoring City Hall and the Jefferson County Courthouse clock tower, but, said executive director Bill Tennent, restoration of more modest buildings is equally important.
Non-structure awards have been presented to authors of local histories, museum exhibits, cemetery stewards, oral history projects and people who have contributed to the preservation of county history.
In 2017, awards were presented to Anne Ricker and Scott Abbott for restoration and the adaptive use of Quilcene Friends Church; the Nordland General Store for maintaining a historic neighborhood business; Building 202 at Fort Worden for restoration and adaptive reuse of Peninsula College; and Steve Chapin for perpetuating the traditional skill of building Pocock racing shells.
