A ceremony on May 15 inaugurated a series of rooms in Weimar's ducal Residenzschloss, or Residential Palace, conserved with the support of WMF. WMF and its local German partner funded the conservation of the Goethe Gallery and Wieland Room, two of the "Poet Rooms" created in the west wing of the palace in the nineteenth century to commemorate Weimar poets. The Goethe Gallery is the most prominent of these rooms, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and decorated by Bernhard Neher and his pupil, Carl Hutter, with scenes from Goethe's works.

The eighteenth-century Church and Monastery of St. Catherine of Siena in Buenos Aires was included on the 2014 World Monuments Watch because of a city-approved plan to build an 18-story mixed-use tower immediately adjacent to the church and monastery despite its location within a protected zone with height restrictions. Construction of the tower would have cast a permanent shadow on St. Catherine's and destroyed the historic context around this important religious complex. In May, however, the Court of Appeals in Buenos Aires upheld the city's Administrative and Tax Appeals Court decision from September 2013 to nullify the permit to build the tower next to the building. The date of final decision coincided with the site's Watch Day celebration, where participants enjoyed a guided tour of the church and monastery, a concert, and a presentation of the advocacy activities carried out in past year.  

Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design (WHSAD) students visited the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum in Inwood during their spring break and assisted with projects that help protect the site. Every year, WHSAD students have the opportunity for hands-on learning through WMF-supported field schools at Historic House Trust properties in New York City. In the past, students have participated in field schools at Morris Jumel Mansion and Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, employing carpentry and painting skills, building gardening beds, and learning how landscape maintenance can help to protect historic structures. On April 15 and 16 students carried out preservation cleaning of the house and grounds, washing the exterior walls, windows, and porch banisters, and helping to cover the burrows created by carpenter bees on the Revolutionary War-era half-timbered wood hut. The kids also had the opportunity to observe a welder from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation as he fixed the shutter dogs that keep the window shutters in place, and learn a little about the trade. A video created on the second day, It's My Park, documented the student's work and the history of the site.
