Welcome to
THE LANDMARK AWARDS

Historic Landmark Awards

Every year the Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society bestows Landmark Awards on residential and commercial buildings in and around our neighborhood. Sites are chosen for their historic or cultural significance, such as those identified with significant events or persons, or those embodying distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or notable work of a master builder, designer or architect.

If you would like to see the historical nature of your residence check our Historical Area page.
