Over the past year, Landmarks pursued its mission by:
Engaging diverse audiences through a wide variety of programs, including “What Are Buildings Made Of” classes, the spring and fall lecture series (21 free talks by local experts hosted in our classroom), the Most Enhanced Awards, the Downtown Walking Tour Program, “heart-bombing” (where we create and place Valentine’s Day artwork to show our love for endangered buildings), a cemetery cleanup, a movie night, and a workshop on restoring historic wooden windows. In all, we offered 138 programs!
Working with a wide range of St. Louis City agencies, elected officials, and community non-profits to further the goals of historic preservation and forward-thinking development. From downtown to our beloved neighborhoods, Landmarks Association representatives are meeting with decision-makers to ensure that preservation, urbanism, and excellence in contemporary design have a voice at the table.
Growing our revolving loan program so that we can provide greater assistance to people who are taking on difficult rehabilitation projects. As always, we are grateful for the support you lend to our ongoing efforts. A gift of $50 from every Landmarks member goes a very long way toward ensuring that our collective voice supporting historic preservation will remain loud and clear in 2025.
