2025 Preservation Awards

The Springfield Preservation Trust Preservation Awards honor the people and organizations that are helping to restore historic structures in Springfield. Every year, the Trust showcases exemplary properties that represent the best historic preservation in Springfield over the previous year. Preservation Awards are commonly given to properties that have restored the historic look of a building by removing inappropriate siding, repairing or replicating original details, or generally bringing back a building that was in disrepair.

Join us for the 2025 Preservation Awards, taking place at 52 Sumner, the city’s newest venue for the arts, including live music and other entertainment at the old church at 52 Sumner Avenue, Springfield. The owners of 52 Sumner, Springfield Performing Arts Venture, won a 2024 Preservation Award for restoration of this 1912 Gothic Revival style former church which underwent interior renovation and adaptive reuse.

This awards ceremony is part of the Trust’s festivities in celebration of , designated each May by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to raise awareness about the enormous impact historic preservation has in protecting and enhancing our neighborhoods and communities.
