A historically and environmentally significant property protected with a conservation easement, it was a perfect location for the Conservancy’s one fundraiser of the year.Ī highlight of the evening was the recognition of local landscape architect, award-winning visionary land steward, and sustainable practices advocate Robert (Rob) J. More than 200 people attended the Architectural Hall of Fame Gala on Saturday, which was held at the Boxly estate. "It’s remarkably unusual that so much still remains here."
"These are some of the nation’s most beautiful, green, and architecturally distinguished communities, with stunning natural landscapes that weave throughout," Salganicoff said. "A vibrant community such as Chestnut Hill must grow and evolve without losing what makes it special.Ĭhestnut Hill, a National Register Historic District, is "blessed" with "outstanding examples of architecture, spanning four centuries," Salganicoff said. "The Architectural Hall of Fame supports the Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s mission to protect and manage change in the built environment by raising community awareness about its irreplaceable assets," said Lori Salganicoff, Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s executive director. These properties represent groundbreaking approaches to planning and design are significant for their design, materials, and craftsmanship are an exceptional example of their style or are of historical significance because of an association with an event, a person, or by age. The Architectural Hall of Fame recognizes Chestnut Hill’s most treasured buildings, structures and landscapes. The 2023 inductees join 25 already chosen by thousands of public votes to join the Hall of Fame. The 2023 inductees are, from oldest to youngest, Casey's Ice House (1843, 1913, 1924), Our Mother of Consolation Complex (from 1855 to 1916), Mermaid Inn (1913), Valley Green Inn (1850, 1937), and Pastorius Park (1937).
Four were chosen by public vote and the Conservancy’s Preservation Committee selected a fifth property. A distinguished list of five beloved and significant buildings, structures and landscapes was inducted into the Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s Chestnut Hill Architectural Hall of Fame at the organization’s annual fundraising gala on June 3.
