2008 Heritage Home Awards Announced


The City of Woodland’s Historical Preservation Commission is pleased to announce this years 2008 Heritage Home Award recipients. The Heritage Home award is a public recognition of a remarkable family home and commemorates that home’s contribution to the aesthetically and historically significant residential architecture of Woodland. The award is honorary and recognizes the home as a special community resource and recognizes those homes that have been well maintained or restored.

Each year the Historical Preservation Commission considers nominations and selects up to five (5) recipients. However, this year the Commission has chosen four (4). The awards are presented by the Commission to the owners of the selected Heritage Home nominees. The award consists of a Certificate of Recognition and an attractive 7” x 10” oval bronze plaque
from the Erie Landmark Company listing the year of construction of the home. Accepting the award does not place restrictions on the home.

The four homes selected to receive the award this year are:

• 241 Cross Street, Date of Construction 1914
• 33 Third Street, Date of Construction 1879
• 152 First Street, Date of Construction 1910
• 319 Oak Avenue, Date of Construction, 1892

The Heritage Home Awards will be presented by the Historical Preservation Commission on May 14, 2008 at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 300 First Street.
