The DCP Historic Preservation Program has honored Dade Heritage Trust with the Beinecke-Reeves Distinguished Achievement Award in Historic Preservation. The award was presented at a reception at UF in February.
The annual award recognizes an individual or group with a connection to the state of Florida who exemplifies the spirit of historic preservation and has demonstrated exceptional dedication to the field. The award is named in honor of the late Walter Beinecke Jr., and UF professor emeritus F. Blair Reeves, both of whom were recipients of the top national honor in the field of historic preservation, the National Trust for Historic Preservation Crowninshield Award.
At the reception, Program Director Marty Hylton cited the many accomplishments of Dade Heritage Trust since its founding as a nonprofit in 1972. These accomplishments include Dade Heritage Trust's advocacy battles to save the Miami Circle, the Freedom Tower, the Miami Marine Stadium and the Miami Herald Building.
