Outstanding Brooklyn restoration projects honored at Landmarks Conservancy’s Moses Awards
The New York Landmarks Conservancy this week announced the winners of the 24th Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards—called the “Preservation Oscars,” as they are the highest honors awarded for excellence in preservation—and four Brooklyn locations are among them: the Duffy Residence, Engelhardt Addition of the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company, Green-Wood Cemetery Gatehouse and Williamsburgh Savings Bank.
The coveted awards are named for Lucy G. Moses, a dedicated New Yorker whose generosity benefited the City for more than 50 years. The Awards have recognized over 245 individuals, organizations and building owners for their extraordinary contributions to the city.
“The Moses Awards demonstrate that good preservation benefits the entire city by protecting and enhancing homes, cultural and religious institutions, commercial buildings and neighborhoods for generations to come,” said Peg Breen, President of The New York Landmarks Conservancy.
