This Place Matters
Earlier this year, It was my privilege to be recognized by Benton County and the City of Corvallis Historic Resources Commissions and Preservation Works for Leadership and Commitment associated with my work in the historic neighborhoods of Corvallis, Oregon. This award centered on the efforts associated with my real estate career, including the marketing materials that I produce when listing homes and the information and advice provided to buyers of homes in neighborhoods designated as historic and with historic homes in other neighborhoods and communities. I am very appreciative and honored by this recognition.
The opening remarks were quite inspirational and are repeated with permission here:
The theme of this historic preservation month is –“This Place Matters”.
“Places are made up of the physical – the landscape, climate, and the built environment. But of course, when we are talking about Historic Preservation we can’t separate the physical place from the human community and its culture that formed that place. This human community and culture can’t JUST be that of the historical creators of the “place”. (Though our predecessors acting on and manipulating the environment gives us something to preserve.) This community and culture that helps make up “Place” must include us, as we act out our stories, build our lives, and play with the environment; the environment that we inherit from those who have gone before us, and borrow from those who come after.
All of us, as individuals, or groups and organizations, through our actions, both big and small, pass on a legacy. We pass on another piece of the story that is told by our places; the story about who we are, and what matters to us. Historic Preservation is about making sure that story has a richness and depth that a single individual can rarely achieve over a lifetime.
In giving awards – for leadership and commitment –for Stewardship – and awards for Projects that assure the continued life to Designated Historic Resources- we want to recognize the diversity of efforts, and the different scale and scope, that make up the preservation of this place that matters to us.”
Other awards and honorees include:
Benton county Preservation Award to Willamette Community and Grange Hall
Designated Historic Resource Project—Caton House; Kearney Hall, Oregon State University
Leadership and Commitment—Dava Behrens; BA Beierle
Stewardship—Ed and Gwen Peachey; Oregon State University
Preservations Works Honor Award—Van Buren Bridge Project, Oregon Department of Transportation
Part of the program included a presentation by Art DeMuro (President of Venerable Properties and Chairman of the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission) describing the efforts and success story of the “green” preservation efforts associated with the “White Stag” and other buildings/blocks of significance in the Portland Historic District(s) The following is a slide show he provided (posted with permission.) It is well worth the read to understand the differences that can be made when “green” is included in the preservation of historic properties.
