The Preservation League was honored to be recognized by our colleagues at the Albany County Historical Association (ACHA) during their "Raise the Roof" Gala on Thursday, November 7. The League was awarded alongside the New York State Library, and the Rapp Road Historical Association, in recognition of their work to promote the rich and diverse history and culture of our region, and more broadly, all of New York State.
The League’s annual grant from the Donald Stephen Gratz Preservation Services Fund was awarded to the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica. The $12,000 grant will fund restoration of the portico at the Miller-Conkling-Kernan Residence at 3 Rutger Park. This 1830 Greek Revival mansion was designed by noted Albany architect Phillip Hooker. Because of its architectural significance and its association with several prominent historical figures, the house is a designated National Historic Landmark (NHL) — one of only two NHLs in Utica.
This Call for Nominations will result in the listing of seven at-risk sites. Sites selected for the Seven to Save program will receive enhanced attention from the Preservation League’s experienced advocacy and technical assistance staff from January 2025 through December 2026.
