Awards for Excellence in historic preservation

Every year, Louisiana Landmarks Society presents awards to the best historic renovation, adaptive use and restoration projects in New Orleans, carrying on a tradition began by the Historic District Landmarks Commission to promote the beauty and utility of the city’s many historic buildings. A jury of architects, preservationists, historians and civic leaders evaluates nominated projects across several categories, including small residential, multifamily, commercial, and institutional.

Save the Date! The 2026 Awards for Excellence in Preservation will be held on Wednesday, May 20 at Gallier Hall.
