The Kirkwood Landmarks Commission presents the
9^th Annual Favorite Building Awards May 9^th

Architecture makes visible the values that a community holds.

When architectural treasures are saved, the effect on civic spirit

often surpasses the importance of the structures themselves.

Kirkwood, Missouri -- Monday, April 23, 2007 – The 9^th Annual Favorite Building Awards will be presented on Wednesday May 9, 2007, at 7 p.m. by the Kirkwood Landmarks Commission. This year, the awards ceremony will be held at the historic Kirkwood Train Station in downtown Kirkwood. The public is warmly invited to attend to find out more about these beautiful landmark properties that are being honored this year. May is National Historic Preservation month.

Buildings or places need not be a “designated” Kirkwood Landmark to be nominated for an award.
