Our first-ever Preservation Party will celebrate the dedicated stewardship behind Chestnut Hill’s architectural heritage. It combines the Conservancy’s Preservation Awards with the Chestnut Hill Architectural Hall of Fame to highlight the community’s stewardship, preservation efforts, and cherished landmarks that add to Chestnut Hill’s undeniable charm. The evening will reveal the newly selected inductees to the Architectural Hall of Fame and celebrate this year’s Preservation Recognition Awards, hosted at the Venetian Social Club in its 100th year; it promises to be an unforgettable gathering that captures the spirit and history of our community. Tickets include an Italian buffet dinner (From The Boot) with wine and beer.

The evening offers a wonderful chance to connect and celebrate, honor the stories of our awardees, and celebrate Chestnut Hill’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. To make this event more accessible as a “friend-raiser” rather than a fundraiser, we’ve set the ticket price at $45—lower than our Spring Gala—to encourage wider attendance. But we are still low on ticket sales. As of today, we have about 45 registrations for the Party, and to make our budget, we hope to secure 125 ticket sales (for 175 total guests, including the 50 comps – staff, sponsors, and one per awardee/finalist).
