The Preservation Salute Award

Captain Donald Boland and the Naval Base Point Loma have an outstanding historic preservation program at the Fort Rosecrans Historic District. They have restored four duplexes on Officer's Row at a cost of more than $2.5 million dollars. As the base is off-limits to the general public this outstanding effort has gone unrewarded until now. The U.S. Navy merits a medal for their historic preservation program. With their oversight of so many of San Diego's historic treasures, it is important that we celebrate the commitment of Captain Boland and the Navy to the preservation and restoration of these significant pieces of our history.
