Portsmouth Advocates celebrate preservation, stewardship with 2020 awards
PORTSMOUTH – Celebrating preservation victories and stewardship of the city s historic character, the Portsmouth Advocates recently bestowed their 2020 awards.
The Portsmouth Advocates, part of the Portsmouth Historical Society, each year recognize property owners, designers and contractors whose exceptional work enhances the city’s unique historic character. These awards have been given since 1989. This year, we honor projects that restore the integrity of a resource, adaptively re-use a historic building through rehabilitation, celebrate property owners who consistently maintain their historic properties, and provide special recognition to an organization working to preserve a historic tree, the Portsmouth Advocates said.
