Invitation - Pillar of New York Gala

ALBANY, NY (10/09/2012)(readMedia)-- On November 15, 2012, the Preservation League will present its most prestigious tribute, the Pillar of New York Award, to two honorees whose names are associated with the sensitive restoration of many of our most historic resources, Nicholson & Galloway, Inc. and Building Conservation Associates, Inc.

Together or separately, these firms have played a leading role in restoring many of New York City's landmark properties including Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the New York Stock Exchange, the Chrysler Building, the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, the New York Life Insurance Building, the New Amsterdam Theater, and the New York Yacht Club. Their craftsmanship and technical expertise has been instrumental in the preservation of many of New York City's iconic buildings, as well as important structures around the state and across the country.

Each year the League presents The Pillar of New York Award to those who have demonstrated a keen understanding of the value of New York's historic resources by taking extraordinary actions to protect, preserve, and promote those assets. The Pillar of New York Gala will be held on November 15, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at the Vanderbilt and Empire Rooms of the Waldorf=Astoria in New York. Tickets start at $600 for individuals, and tables of 10 are available starting at $10,000. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Preservation League at 518-462-5658 x11.
