The Preservation Foundation honors special places in Lake Forest which have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in the preservation of Lake Forest’s architectural heritage and historic character.
Advocacy is defined as “public support for a recommendation of a particular cause or policy.” Lake Forest Preservation Foundation promotes the historic preservation of Lake Forest’s unique visual character and fulfills this mission through education, funding, and advocacy.
The Lake Forest Library Board of Trustees voted unanimously in their May meeting to authorize the submission of an application to the Historic Preservation Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness for dome restoration.
The Library board’s newly formed Building Committee, headed by Library trustees Bryan Bertola and Heather Strong, took the first step in the library’s Capital Improvement Project by reviewing the existing dome analysis completed in 2018.
Lake Forest Preservation Foundation’s mission is to protect the historic visual character of Lake Forest. Our recent advocacy efforts reflect our commitment to the City of Lake Forest’s nationally recognized Historic Preservation ordinance.
Welcome to summer! We are so happy to be easing out of COVID restrictions and back to some normalcy in all our lives. The Lake Forest Preservation Foundation is busy planning events for the upcoming summer months that showcase our local architecture and gardens.
On March 15th, the Lake Forest Library went before the City Council to discuss a proposed Library capital improvement campaign that proposes a greatly expanded and reimagined Library building.
Congratulations to each of this year’s nine Preservation Award winners, which were officially announced at the October 5th City Council meeting.
Like many organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to re-examine how we conduct business and hold our meetings, how we engage with our members, and how we plan for programs and events during the year ahead.
A new decade is upon us, wherein demographic evolution, technology, innovation, and cultural norms are changing the way people live, work, and play.
