2020 Award of Merit Recipients

Napa County Landmarks Award of Merit has 6 categories and criteria to encourage local preservation of historic places, landscapes, sites and districts. In 2020 we are pleased to announce 7 recipients.

   Category #1 is for Preservation or Restoration of an existing historic building at least 50years old. Its description is: preservation places a high standard on the retention of existing form, integrity and materials of an historic property through protection, conservation, maintenance and repair. The project should reflect the building’s continuum over time, through successive occupancies and the respectful changes that have been made. Restoration focuses on the retention of form, features and character from another period and limiting the upgrades to mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
