CARBONDALE – The City of Carbondale Preservation Commission is honored to sponsor the 21st
Annual Historic Preservation Awards. Any property located within Carbondale city limits is eligible for
a Historic Preservation Award. Carbondale residents are invited to submit nominations for any property
that they feel is deserving of an award.
Property nominations are accepted in one of five categories:
• Preservation – This includes buildings that have been kept in their original architectural style and are
being used for their original purpose.
• Restoration – Properties that have been restored to their original style or appearance.
• Sympathetic Addition – Construction of an addition to an existing structure that is consistent with the
original architectural style of the structure.
• Compatible New Construction – Any new structure that is consistent with the original architectural
style of the neighborhood or that utilizes historic building materials and techniques.
• Adaptive Reuse- Reusing an existing building for a purpose other than which it was originally built or
designed for.
Anyone can nominate a property; however owners are encouraged to nominate their own property. The
award winners will be recognized at a City Council meeting in May in association with National
Preservation Month. Nomination forms are available in the Planning Services Division Office in City
Hall or can be found online at Historic Preservation Awards Program. Please submit all applications by
5:00 p.m., Monday, March 23rd, 2026.
