We Partied for Preservation!

With the support of attendees we managed to raise over $150,000 to support the Architectural Heritage Center and our efforts for preservation and education. This wonderful night wouldn’t have been such a success without our wonderful members and the preservation community as a whole.

Thank you!

We Raised our Glass to
Bill Hawkins!

Longtime residents of Portland are familiar with this saying by C.E.S. Wood:
“Good citizens are the riches of a city.”

Bill Hawkins’ long career is the embodiment of good citizenry.
And Portland is very much the richer for it.

As an architect, author, and advocate for the beautification and preservation of its heritage, Bill has had a profound impact that is worth celebrating.
