Preservation Award, Metro Historical Commission

EOA was honored to receive a Metro Historical Commission Preservation Award for the Christ Church Cathedral renovation and addition. Congratulations to our design and construction team and a heartfelt thank you to the Christ Church Cathedral building committee and ownership team for entrusting us with this Nashville treasure.

We also congratulate our fellow (EOA) award recipient Patrick Gilbert on the renovation of his personal home!

Since 1973, over 400 awards have gone to a broad range of historic structures – dwellings, churches, commercial and industrial buildings, schools, even to bridges and new developments. Nominated by the public, they are honored for their sensitivity to the original architecture and the surrounding environment, creativity in adaptation for contemporary use, architectural merit and/or historic interest, long-term maintenance, adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and pioneering spirit. The public awards ceremony coincides with National Preservation Month, which is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and celebrated every year in May. The theme for Preservation Month 2026 is “All People are Created Equal” to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
