Elgin Heritage Commission to Honor Preservation Award Recipients on May 5
The Elgin Heritage Commission is set to honor nine individuals and organizations for their contributions to preserving the city's historical architecture and cultural resources. The awards, known as the Mayor’s Awards for Preservation, recognize efforts in adaptive reuse, restoration, and historical education. Notable recipients include Benjamin Glunz for converting a historic bank into educational spaces, and the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church for restoring a stained-glass window. The ceremony will take place on May 5 at The Lodge Performing Arts Center and will be open to the public, with reservations required. The event will also be livestreamed on the City of Elgin’s YouTube channel.
