Nott Is Cited By National Trust

The College has received the 1996 National Preservation Honor Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for the restoration of the Nott Memorial.

Sharing the award with Union were architects Finegold Alexander and Associates Inc. and contractors A.J. Martini Inc.

President Roger Hull and Trustee Mary Ann MacLean accepted the award on behalf of the College at the National Preservation Conference last week in Chicago.

"In its restoration of the Nott Memorial, Union College has saved an architectural masterpiece from the Gilded Age," said National Trust President Richard Moe. "The painstaking restoration of this building is a model of good stewardship."

Each year, the National Trust for Historic Preservation celebrates the best of preservation by presenting the award. Chartered by Congress in 1949, the Trust is a non-profit organization with more than 275,000 members. As the leader of the preservation movement, it is committed to saving America's diverse historic environments and to preserving and revitalizing the livability of communities nationwide.
