Why Preservation? - A Special Presentation at the Society's Annual Meeting

  • Jones Middle School auditorium 2100 Arlington Avenue Columbus, OH, 43221 United States (map)

What are the important architectural features of 50+ year-old homes? How do they enhance the character and style of your historic home?

Join presenter Susan Keeny, Preservation Director at Columbus Landmarks, to learn why taking a preservation approach is important not only for our homes, but also for our neighborhoods. Highlights of local architecture, resources for homeowners, and a lively question/answer session will round out this informative evening. If you own a home built pre-1974 or are interested in historic architecture, this event is for you!

The evening will kick-off with a brief Annual Meeting of the Society. All are welcome; Society members will have the opportunity to vote on issues.
