2026 People's Preservation Choice Award
Each year, an additional preservation award----the People’s Preservation Choice award---is chosen via an online public vote. Project nominees must be a successful restoration and rehabilitation of a local, state, or nationally significant historic building in Massachusetts, and the project must have resulted in increased and broadened awareness/appreciation for preservation within the community. The winner will be announced at the Awards celebration event at Fenway Park's 521 Overlook on June 11, 2026.
This year's roster of nominees is impressive! Scroll down to read more about each one.
