Congratulations to the individuals and organizations honored last night by the Historic Districts Council at its 20th Annual Preservation Party and Grassroots Preservation Awards.

This year, the awards were especially close to our West Side heart. Among the grassroots efforts honored was The Coalition to Save West-Park Presbyterian Church!
