2017 Preservation Honor Award Winners

The 2017 Preservation Honor Awards were presented on May 19, 2017 at the historic YWCA Laniākea in Downtown Honolulu.  Architectural historian, Don Hibbard, PhD, was honored for the many contributions he has made towards preserving historic places in Hawai‘i, including his career as administrator of the Hawai‘i State Historic Preservation Division, the books he has authored on architectural history in the Islands, and as a community advocate who helps nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places and increase awareness of historic places through educational programs.  As veteran architect Frank Haines summarized, “Don has done more to save Hawai‘i’s architecture than anyone I know.”
