Just want to remind everyone of GHF's Preservation Awards Reception - the "Sally B. Wallace Historic Preservation Awards" - is tonight, May 8th from 6:30pm to 8pm at Ashton Villa.
The reception is free and open to the public.
GHF has updated its preservation awards for this year. New award categories include the Galveston GREEN Award for companies or individuals that integrate sustainable materials and technology in retrofitting historic properties and the Post-IKE Recovery award for individuals/companies that have made significant progress in rehabilitating their respective properties.
Special guests will include the CEO and employees of Arcadia Press, publishers of Galveston: A City on Stilts, the story of Galveston's reconstruction after the Great Storm of September 8, 1900. The book contains 200 vintage photographs from the Zeva B. Edworthy collection that document the rebuilding of the city in the early 1900s. Books will be available for purchase. Authors Jodi Wright-Gidley and Jennifer Marines will also be available to sign copies.
