Preservation Austin is proud to announce our 63rd Annual Preservation Merit Awards Celebration! Join us at East Austin’s stylish Central Machine Works for this unique program — the only one of its kind to honor the everyday Austinites working hard to preserve our city’s heritage in diverse, exciting, and unexpected ways. Our twelve 2023 winners represent the wide-ranging efforts to build community and enhance historic spaces across our city.

Central Machine Works, itself a past Preservation Merit Award winner, is an inspiring adaptive reuse success story, and we can’t wait for you to join us for locally-brewed drinks, seasonal dinner selections, and live music. Connect with designers, builders, policy-makers, community advocates, and historians at Austin’s premiere industry event as we toast another wonderful year of preservation excellence! 

Our Preservation Merit Awards Program has celebrated innovative preservation efforts citywide since 1960. By recognizing outstanding individuals, businesses, organizations, and institutions doing this work, we show preservation’s endless possibilities for enriching lives and making Austin an incredible place to call home.
