Recent Awards
Larkspur’s Historic Preservation Award(s) are presented under the sponsorship of the Larkspur Heritage Preservation Board. The purpose of the award is to recognize notable accomplishments in historic preservation by owners of contributing commercial buildings in Larkspur's historic downtown and owners of residential structures listed on Larkspur's Inventory of Historic Resources, which have been completed within the preceding five (5) years. Award recipients are issued a certification of notable historic restoration and, subject to the authorization of the owner, a bronze plaque may be mounted on, or in front of, the historic structure.
The Larkspur Heritage Preservation Board reviews all nominations and recommends recipients to the Larkspur City Council. Nominations will be reviewed once each year, and may be submitted to the Board by members of the public, City staff, Council, Planning Commission, or Boardmembers.
