The 35th annual Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards drew a sold-out crowd of 600 to the Edison Ballroom on April 22.
Seventeen extraordinary preservation projects were cited, ranging from co-op buildings, public housing, and Broadway theaters to the restoration of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
Susan Olsen received the Preservation Leadership Award for her dedicated 22-year career at Woodlawn Cemetery, and Ann-Isabel Friedman, former Conservancy Sacred Sites director and a longtime preservationist, was honored with a Special Award for Preservation Service.

ABOUT THE AWARDS
The New York Landmarks Conservancy has been a leader in preserving, restoring, and reusing New York City’s architectural legacy for over five decades. The Moses Awards are the Conservancy’s highest honors for outstanding preservation work and recognize individuals, organizations, architects, craftspeople, and building owners for their extraordinary contributions to preserving our City.
We are grateful for the generous support of the Henry and Lucy Moses Fund, which makes the Awards possible. Lucy Goldschmidt Moses was a dedicated New Yorker whose generosity benefited the City for over fifty years. Mrs. Moses and her husband, attorney Henry L. Moses, shared a wide range of philanthropic interests. “I don’t think we’re worth anything unless we do for others,” said Mrs. Moses in a 1983 interview with The New York Times.
The Preservation and Public Leadership Awards are bestowed upon outstanding individuals in the field of historic preservation. Past honorees include Ruth Abram, Wint Aldrich, Kent Barwick, John H. Beyer, Laurie Beckelman, Fred Bland, Stephen Briganti, Yuien Chin, Joan K. Davidson, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, Andrew Dolkart, Franny Eberhart, Lola Finkelstein, Kenneth K. Fisher, Daniel Garodnick, Roberta Brandes Gratz, Alex Herrera, Anne Van Ingen, John J. (Jack) Kerr, Jr., Nancy, and Otis Pratt Pearsall, Ruth Pierpont, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, Barnett Shepherd, and Anthony C. Wood.
Preservation Project Awards are given to projects that demonstrate excellence in the restoration, preservation, or adaptive use of historic buildings, streetscapes, and landscapes that preserve commercial, residential, institutional, religious, and public buildings.
