Congratulations to the Murray-Dick-Fawcett House: Honored by Preservation Virginia
Since 1971, Preservation Virginia has recognized outstanding preservation efforts across the Commonwealth. This year, the Office of Historic Alexandria is being honored for its exceptional restoration work on the Murray-Dick-Fawcett House, one of Alexandria’s oldest and best-preserved residential structures. Acquired by the City of Alexandria in 2017, the house recently completed a multi-year, two-phase exterior restoration that began in 2021, ensuring the preservation of its architectural integrity.
The Preservation Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, September 27th, at the historic Main Street Station in Richmond. The event will celebrate nine awardees, including the Murray-Dick-Fawcett House, and honor the distinguished career of Elizabeth S. Kostelny, CEO of Preservation Virginia, for her 34 years of leadership.
