(COLUMBIA, MO) ~ Columbia's Historic Preservation Commission to Honor 2024's Most Notable Properties
The City of Columbia's Historic Preservation Commission will be hosting a reception on Wednesday, May 8 at Stephens Lake Park's Riechmann Pavilion to honor the city's most notable properties. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and will feature awards presentations and a virtual "tour" of the selected properties through a video presentation. Attendees can also enjoy heavy appetizers and beverages.
Since its establishment in 1999, the Historic Preservation Commission has designated over 190 structures as Notable Properties. Among these are well-known landmarks such as the Blind Boone Home, the University of Missouri's Francis Quadrangle and Columns, Jewell Cemetery, the Tiger Hotel, the McKinney Building, and numerous private homes.
To be eligible for nomination, structures must be at least 50 years old and located within Columbia's corporate limits. They must also possess architectural or historical elements that contribute to the character or history of the city. This includes not only private homes and businesses but also institutions and green spaces.

This year's selections for Most Notable Properties have been announced by the Commission.
