20th Presentation of the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards
American Museum of Natural History
The Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards are the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s highest honors for outstanding preservation efforts. They are named for Lucy Goldschmidt Moses, a dedicated New Yorker whose generosity benefited the City for over 50 years. Mrs. Moses and her husband, attorney Henry L. Moses, shared a wide range of philanthropic interests. “I don’t think we’re worth anything unless we do for others,” said Mrs. Moses in a 1983 interview with The New York Times.
The Awards honor preservation leaders, public officials, organizations, owners, builders, architects, and craftspeople who restore the beauty and utility of New York’s great architecture. This year marks the 20th presentation of the Awards, which have recognized nearly 200 individuals, organizations, and building owners for their extraordinary contributions to our City. Many thanks for the generous support of the Henry and Lucy Moses Fund, which makes the Awards possible.
During the last two decades the Awards have become much coveted. We like to call them the “Oscars” of preservation.
The New York Landmarks Conservancy has been at the forefront of efforts to preserve, restore, and reuse the City’s wonderful architectural legacy for more than 35 years. Hailed as a national model of enlightened and effective preservation, the Conservancy goes beyond the expected and sets new standards for the conservation of treasured landmarks, revitalizing architecturally significant structures. The Conservancy has loaned and granted more than $30 million and provided countless hours of pro bono technical advice to building owners. Our work enhances New York’s quality of life and preserves the character of our City for future generations.
