Waverly Historic Preservation Award
To be eligible, a property must be at least fifty years old and within Waverly's city limits. The property may be used for either residential purposes or non-residential purposes. The award may be given either in recognition of work undertaken in the last three years or of a long-standing commitment to preservation. Properties are judged on the basis of exterior appearance only.
The awards will be made using one or more of the following criteria:
- Building improvements made with regard to sensitive restoration or original design (including, for example, removal of contemporary materials that compromised the original architectural intent).
- New addition in keeping with the original structure and setting.
- Adaptive reuse of a building that preserves the original architectural character.
- Historic paint color scheme.
- Historic landscape design, which displays an effort to preserve the original landscape character and setting of a building.
The public is invited to nominate properties for the Waverly Historic Preservation Awards. People may nominate their own properties. Winners will be determined by the Waverly Historic Preservation Commission.
