NH&RA "Timmy" Awards
The National Housing & Rehabilitation Association is proud to announce a call for entries to the second annual J. Timothy Anderson Awards for Excellence in Historic Rehabilitation. The "Timmy" awards honor outstanding rehabilitation and preservation projects based on overall design and quality, interpretation and respect of historic elements, impact on the community, and financial and market success.
Due to the unprecedented response to the inaugural competition, NH&RA has incorporated additional categories for the 2006 "Timmy" Awards and converted application submission to an electronic process.

NH&RA created the "Timmy Awards" as a tribute to Boston architect and preservation advocate J. Timothy Anderson. "Anderson was a singular figure in the preservation industry pioneering the adaptive reuse of historic buildings," said Peter Bell, Executive Director of the National Housing & Rehabilitation Association and a close personal friend of Anderson's. His legacy includes numerous Boston area projects as well as the seminal study that helped launch preservation efforts in the art deco South Beach district of Miami Beach in the late '70s.
Anyone familiar with a deserving project is invited to submit an application today! Entries for the 2006 "Timmy" awards will be accepted until July 15th and the winners will be recognized at an awards ceremony on October 9 at the 2006 NH&RA Fall Meeting in Boston, MA.
