Elm Award Ceremony - May 26, 2011
Sea Loft at Waypoint Event Center
Fairfield Inn and Suites
In 1997 the Society established the Elm Award to recognize those individuals or organizations who have done
an outstanding job in either the ongoing maintenance, preservation, restoration or adaptive reuse of their
historic property. As May is National Preservation Month, this is a fitting tribute to those who have
accomplished much in preserving the heritage of the city for the future.

Historic Marker Program
Since 1976 the Preservation Society has been awarding historic plaques through its Historic
Marker Program. New Bedford homeowners may apply to the Society to receive a plaque. This
past year, recognizing the diversity of the city’s neighborhoods, the society has developed a more
inclusive, multi-tier marker program that reinforces the collective memory of many diverse
people, past and present, who share a common heritage and which builds understanding and
neighborhood pride. The Marker Program now consists of three distinct marker types: Level 1 and
2 markers that denote style, based on the following values of architectural significance, and a
third marker (Level 3) that denotes a significant person or event having been associated with the
property.
• Age of property, minimum of fifty years.
• Architectural Style. Property must be clearly representative of its style or a combination of
styles. Altered properties would not necessarily be excluded, but the property must retain
definite elements of its contributing styles. A change in exterior wall fabric (for example,
replacing clapboards with wood shingles) would not automatically disqualify a property unless the
change included wholesale destruction of architectural details.
• Property must be well-maintained and appropriately restored with a paint color scheme suitable
to the style and period of the property.
The fee for a plaque covers the historical research done to date the building and to establish who
was responsible for its construction, the completion and filing of the Historic Building Survey Form
B with the Massachusetts Historic Commission and for the manufacture of the plaque. Historic
Marker applications are available on the society website at www.nbpreservationsociety.org.

Historic Mill Trolley Tours:
North End (7/28) and South End (8/4)
Trolley will depart from the William Street side of Custom House Square. New Bedford was one of the most important centers of textile
production in the world at its peak in the early 1900s. The industry began in the city in 1846 and lasted until the 1980s. The legacy of this long
and eventful history continues to affect the city today in profound ways. Please join the Society to learn more about the buildings, people and
events that shaped the development of New Bedford during this important era in the city’s history. The tour will last approximately one hour
and will be led by Society member Bruce Barnes. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis, non-handicap accessible.
Plan to take a leisurely stroll this summer and discover the city’s 19 Century neighborhoods with the Society’s self-guided Architectural
Walking Tour Brochures. Observe the city’s architectural gems and learn about the history of over 300 historic homes documented in these
brochures, which are freely distributed at the New Bedford Waterfront Visitor Center, the National Park Visitor Center at
33 William Street, and through the Society office at 388 County Street.
