LANDMARKS' FAVORITE BUILDING AWARDS NOMINATIONS DUE APRIL 4

Click here to download a form and criteria.

Architecture makes visible the values that a community holds. When architectural treasures are saved, the effect on civic spirit often surpasses the importance of the structures themselves. Nominations are currently being sought for “Favorite Buildings in Kirkwood.” Buildings or places need not be a “designated” Kirkwood Landmark. The members of the Kirkwood Landmarks Commission will review all nominations to select this year’s recipients. Recognition Awards will be announced in May, which is celebrated as Preservation Month. For nominating criteria and a nomination form, click here to visit the Landmarks page on the City Website. Forms are also available at Kirkwood City Hall, 139 S. Kirkwood Road; at the Community Center, 111 S. Geyer Road, and at the Kirkwood Public Library, 140 E. Jefferson Avenue. Nominations are due by 3:00 p.m., on Wednesday, April 4. The Awards Ceremony will be held on May 9.
