“There’s no place like home,” said Dorothy Gale in the 1939 classic film “The Wizard of Oz.” The Cleveland Restoration Society (CRS) and the American Institute of Architects Cleveland (AIA) agree with Dorothy.

The two organizations will recognize 13 area homes, churches, schools, and other landmarks built between the mid-19th Century and md-20th Century at the annual Celebration of Preservation on Wednesday, May 22 at the Ariel LaSalle Theater in Collinwood.

This year’s winners list honors those who have poured loving care into historic homes or created new homes—both residential units and historic buildings that have been adapted for use as homes or office spaces.

Everything from kitchens to living rooms to the iconic structures that welcome us home to Cleveland, will be honored at the Celebration of Preservation awards.

“We are excited to showcase the 2024 Award Winners at our Celebration of Preservation awards show,” says CRS events coordinator Peggy Sexton. “These winning projects are truly amazing and showcase the exemplary work of builders, architects, historic preservation professionals, and others who seek to renew and revitalize for the next generation.”
