HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS
12 MAY 2000
AWARDS CEREMONY HONORS LOCAL & STATEWIDE
PRESERVATION EFFORTS
The Tempe Historic Preservation Commission and Arizona Preservation
Foundation hosted a joint awards ceremony this year on Friday, May 12, 2000. The event was
sponsored by the Arizona Preservation Foundation, the Arizona State Parks Historic
Preservation Office, the Arizona Archaeological Council, and the Tempe Historic
Preservation Commission.
The ceremony was held at the Arizona Historical Society Museum, 1300 North
College Avenue, in the host community of Tempe. Following a reception, light buffet
and museum gallery tours (including a special Doors to the Past exhibit), Tempe Mayor
Neil Guiliano welcomed guests and honorees, and presented preservation awards.
The highlight of the Tempe Historic Preservation Awards Ceremony
was the presentation of the Susan Harter Award. Susan
Harter was a member of an early Tempe pioneer family, as well as a community
and preservation leader. This
year's recipient was former Tempe Historic Preservation Commissioner Stan Patton.
Patton served two terms as Commissioner and is a contractor involved in
preservation, including the current restoration of Arizona State University's Old Main.
Past recipients include Patricia Alexander, owner of the Farmer-Goodwin
House, and Jenny Lucier for her preservation efforts in the Maple-Ash neighborhood.
The Arizona Heritage Preservation Awards will include a
presentation of the award winners, highlighted by the Grand Award
presentation. This year's Grant Award recipient was the Hopi Foundation
Training Program.
