Save Our Heritage Organisation, San Diego’s countywide preservation group, celebrates its 38th annual People In Preservation Awards, on Thursday, May 27, at 4 p.m., during National Preservation Month.
This year’s awards will honor 12 distinctive people and projects ranging across multiple historic preservation mediums, from building restorations and adaptive reuse to historic community traditions and important arts and cultural centers.
They include the extensive restoration of a Mid-Century Modern coastal gem, the rehabilitation of a support building at the Hotel del Coronado, and the recognition of a long-time writer known for her work in La Jolla.
Each spring, current residents and stewards Susan and Pat James play host to an annual garden party at the turn-of-the-20th-century Wisteria Cottage in Ocean Beach.
The community gathers there to share its history and greater history of the neighborhood, carrying on a decades-old tradition begun by the Ocean Beach Historical Society in 1994.
SOHO’s People In Preservation Awards will be a free virtual event. Find the digital awards ceremony HERE.
