Three North OC Projects Win Preservation Dallas Awards

This just in hot off the e-mail server: Three North Oak Cliff construction/renovation/restoration projects have earned awards from Preservation Dallas.

There are five categories of award winners. Cogitate on that for a moment. … I’m thinking they should just move the awards ceremony to the Bishop Arts District. Anyway, congratuls to all the North Oak Cliff winners.

Here’s the official presser:
