Good Morning,
Preservation Massachusetts is accepting nominations to our 2016
Massachusetts Most Endangered Historic Resources Program. Since 1993,
Preservation Massachusetts has endeavored to identify and aid in the
preservation of endangered historic resources from across the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Local groups or individuals who are deeply concerned
about the potential loss of significant resources nominate sites from
across the state. The list is one of the first steps in focusing statewide
attention on the condition of these historic resources and their importance
to communities, and often serves as a catalyst for extensive preservation
opportunities.
PM has released our 2016 nomination form which can be downloaded from our
website. The nomination period ends on August 15, after which a selection
committee will review nominations and select the resources to be listed as
one of Massachusetts Most Endangered for 2016.
For the nomination form, more information, and FAQ's, visit our website
today.

The Community Spirit Awards were introduced by Preservation Massachusetts
in 2010 as a way to recognize those who embody the spirit of community
based historic preservation activities in our Commonwealth. These
individual and groups are committed to their communities and are active in
efforts to therein to preserve buildings, character or expand the
preservation ethic. Their efforts and work are models for others to emulate
in our community and can often go unrecognized, and to that end we are
proud to be able to honor them and their achievements.
Preservation Massachusetts has re-named this award in 2016 in honor of the
late K. Julie McCarthy, founder and president of the Friends of the North
Brookfield Town House. Julie's boundless energy and years as an educator
served her well as she and the Friends worked toward the restoration of an
iconic community landmark. Upon her passing in March of 2016, the
preservation community lost a dear friend but her infectious energy,
friendship and legacy will continue on in the group and their mission for
the Townhouse. Julie was truly the embodiment of our Community Spirit
Award.
We celebrate the K. Julie McCarthy Community Spirit Award Recipients at our
biennial Believe in Preservation Event this year on November 3rd at the
Worcester Historical Museum beginning at 5:30. Please stay tuned for more
details of this great event.
Preservation Massachusetts is now accepting nominations for Community
