Currently celebrating its 75th anniversary, the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) will host the 6th annual Awards for Architectural Excellence gala Friday, Nov. 6 at the Woman’s Athletic Club (626 North Michigan Ave.) This year, SAH is proud to present the Architectural Journalism Award to Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger, the Heritage Conservation award to architect T. Gunny Harboe (perhaps best known for his work on Chicago’s Rookery and Reliance buildings) and the Architectural Scholarship & Preservation Advocacy award to Richard Longstreth of The George Washington University, a past president of SAH.
This year’s gala co-chairs are Thomas Beeby, FAIA, Kirsten Beeby and Tom Rossiter, FAIA. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with an exclusive tour of the Woman’s Athletic Club, followed by a 6 p.m. cocktail reception with an auction, and culminates with the awards presentation beginning at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public; tickets are on sale at sah.org/gala.
