Park Slope Civic Council Calls for Nominations for 2015 Ortner Preservation Awards

The Park Slope Civic Council has put out a call for applications for the second annual Evelyn and Everett Ortner Park Slope Preservation Awards, which honor local projects compatible with the neighborhood’s architecture and efforts to preserve the area’s historic character.

Awards will be given in categories such as exterior restoration, adaptive reuse, storefront design and more. All projects must have been completed between January 1, 2010 and September 1, 2015, and applications are due November 2.

For full eligibility rules and to download the application, visit the Park Slope Civil Council’s website.

The Second Empire Victorian-style Henry Bristow School building at 417 6th Avenue, P.S. 39, pictured above, won in the Exterior Restoration award category in January. Built in 1877, it’s one of the oldest continuously operating school buildings in the country.
