Call For Nominations: Most Endangered Property & Historic Preservation Award

Each year, the Providence Preservation Society (PPS) assembles the Most Endangered Properties List to highlight historic resources that are endangered by threats such as neglect, deterioration, demolition, development, insufficient funds, and adverse public policy. Our Historic Preservation Awards, on the other hand, recognize significant contributions to the preservation of Providence's historic resources and the enrichment of its vibrant neighborhoods.

In bringing attention to threatened properties, it is the Preservation Society's goal to foster effective solutions by making the public aware of the problems, motivating constructive action, and connecting resources to those properties that need them most. In the past, we have seen positive steps taken toward preservation after a property is placed on the Most Endangered Properties List. A number of projects involving buildings once on the Most Endangered Properties List have received a Preservation Award following successful rehabilitations - including renovations of the Fox Point Bath House, the William H. Dyer House, and the Mowry-Nicholson House.

PPS relies on the public to be our eyes and ears in the community, helping to identify both threatened historic resources and admirable preservation projects in Providence. If you know of a building that is threatened, or a project that has brought new life to a building, please complete an online nomination form.
