The Duluth Preservation Alliance will award 24 property owners for preserving and maintaining their historic homes, buildings and structures at the 2023 Preservation Awards and Centennial Home Celebration on May 31.

This year, 14 properties will receive Centennial Awards and 17 homeowners will receive Preservation Awards for their restoration projects.

We extend our sincere congratulations to all of our award recipients and look forward to continuing to work together to protect and celebrate the historic treasures of Duluth."
