An Introduction to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation Webinar
Wednesday, May 20th – 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation consist of a set of 10 common-sense guidelines that we use to guide proper rehabilitation techniques and processes. But how do you judge when a building element can be repaired, versus having to be replaced? How do you handle later alterations to a building? What if your building is missing historic features? Nathan Bevil from the State Historic Preservation Office will be joining us to shed light on how the Standards help preservation professionals guide their decision-making process, insuring a historic building can function in a modern environment while maintaining its historic integrity.

Heritage Ohio’s Annual Preservation Month Photo Contest | Urban Renewal
Preservation Month is nearly here and 2019 marks the 10th year of our Preservation Month Photo Contest. This year’s theme is Urban Renewal, but with a twist. While Urban Renewal may have once consisted of demoing whole blocks of city buildings, without any care or thought about the people in the buildings, let alone the character of the buildings, Urban Renewal today means the revitalization of cities, its people, and its heritage.
So, here’s your contest assignment: take a picture that captures your community’s best Urban Renewal efforts, whether an event image in a revitalized business district, a historic building once slated for demo that’s been saved and rehabbed, or even the underutilized block of buildings that will, once restored, again contribute to the renewal of the neighborhood.
Once you get that perfect image, submit your entry using our online submission form below, or post to Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #HOUrbanRenewal. Our Preservation Committee will choose finalists, and we’ll open the contest to online voting. As in years past, your online votes will determine the winner!
Here’s your chance at photographic fame and a spot on the cover of Revitalize Ohio! Good luck!
Dates to remember
- Entries accepted through Friday, May 10
- Online voting of finalists Monday, May 20-Wednesday, May 29
- Winner announced Friday, May 31
