On May 15, 2008, Historic York, Inc. held its annual meeting and preservation awards at the historic Schultz House in Springettsbury Township. Six county projects were recognized for preservation efforts that accurately rehabilitated and preserved their historic appearances.

Preservation award winners for 2008 include:

Christ Lutheran Church, which received an award for their steeple restoration project in downtown York.

Tom and Anne Brown, who were honored for restoring the 18th century Peter Wolf House at 4415 West Market Street in West Manchester Township.

Dorgan & Zuck, contractors who were recognized for their efforts toward the Renaissance Redevelopment project on the 300 block of East Princess Street in York.

Dover Area Historical Society, which received an award for relocation and reconstruction of a collapsed blacksmith shop to Alda Ketterman Park in Dover.

First Presbyterian Church, which was recognized for restoring the belvedere on top of the Billmeyer House on East Market Street in York.

John and Jean Leaman, who were honored for restoring the beautiful Victorian home at 505 Linden Avenue, now known as the Lady Linden.

Though the efforts of these individuals, institutions, and companies, York County continues to enjoy the unique sense of place only possible through preserving our historic architectural fabric.
