Architectural Hall of Fame

Chestnut Hill is among the nation’s most architecturally distinguished communities, home to outstanding examples of architecture from three centuries.

The Architectural Hall of Fame is a distinguished list of Chestnut Hill’s most treasured significant buildings, structures, and landscapes chosen by the public. These properties represent groundbreaking approaches to planning and design; are significant for their design, materials, craftsmanship, or as an exceptional example of their style; or are of historical significance because of an association with an event, a person, or by age. Thousands of public votes were cast to induct these treasures into the Hall of Fame. Categories include:

• Residential

• Institutional

• Commercial and Public

The Preservation Party is made possible through the generous support of the event sponsor Kurtz Construction and supporting sponsor Harth Builders and the Conservancy’s general and supportive businesses.
