Profiles in Preservation Program

Profiles in Preservation is going strong. With the goal of having 100 homeowners participating in its first phase, this GDA program is 100% subscribed and is well undeway in its second phase: to produce a presentation- style book featuring these 100 homes. Look for its release in early December, just in time for the holidays!

The program will continue for any homeowner whose home meets the historical criteria and who wants to subscribe to have the history of their home completed.

All homes selected for this project must first meet the criteria set forth by the Historic District Landmarks Commission as a significant or contributing structure without altering its significance through exterior renovations.

The Project in a Nutshell

Led by the Garden District Board of Directors, and in collaboration with a team of architectural historians and other experts, the program’s purpose is to showcase the Garden District’s important homes and buildings and provide accurate information for the general public. In consideration for subscription fees, participating homeowners will receive an authentic history of their homes, a beautiful bronze plaque, telling the brief history of the home, a presentation book complete with the homes’ history, professional photographs of the exteriors, interiors and gardens, and a two-page spread in a beautifully executed coffee-table style book. This book will include the first 100 homes subscribed to the program.
