About the Rhody Awards
For 16 years The Rhody Awards has celebrated the best in historic preservation, showcasing the many beneficial impacts to communities across our state. Each year we call on the people of Rhode Island to nominate those who have made great preservation achievements, difference in their communities through preservation work and those who have inspired others to protect Rhode Island's special places.
An independent jury of historians, architects, developers, community leaders and preservationists will review and select our final nominees. Last year's awardees included work that supported affordable and low-income housing, revitalized local economies, promoted accessible design, and protected iconic landmarks for present and future generations.
