San Diego Preservationists Reign

When The California Preservation Foundation announced its nineteen winners during National Preservation Week, four San Diego projects were among the honored.

Congratulations to Architect Jim Kelley-Markham for his work on The First Church of Christ, Scientist, designed by Irving Gill, 1909-1910. This meticulously restored building was the site this year for the CPF conference plenary session.

The El Cortez took another bow when the architectural firm of Tanner, Leddy, Maytum, Staceyâs efforts to rehabilitate the 1927 Hotel were acknowledged for keeping its beautiful original design intact.

Architect Milford Wayne Donaldson received two awards, one for the design for the San Diego Aerospace Museum's Pavilions of Flight covered court, which shows one way to add on to an old building while respecting its original design. His second award was for the Naval Training Center design guidelines for the 1920âs historic core in Point Loma. This plan will enable those untrained and unfamiliar with working on historic buildings to properly care for this important site. Congratulations to all. Your fine work gives character and meaning to Americaâs Finest City.
