Recognizing excellence in North Hill exterior renovation projects

Annually, the NHPA recognizes District homeowners’ preservation efforts with the Joyce Turner Award and the Edwin J. Hacker Award.

Joyce Turner Award for Historic Preservation

Joyce Turner was a founding member of NHPA and a champion for the District’s National Historic Places designation. Her family was responsible for many of the beautiful structures in the District and Downtown Pensacola. The NHPA chose to name the annual award for excellence in exterior renovation in her honor.

Edwin Hacker Award for Excellence in Landscaping

Edwin Hacker was well known to the neighborhood for his meticulous attention to his garden. The award for excellence in landscaping projects was named in his honor.

Nominate a North Hill Home

All NHPA members are invited to submit award nominations each year in April to be reviewed by the Board in May. Nominees should be NHPA members and, depending on the scope of the work undertaken, should have received approval for their project from the ARB. Winners selected by the Board are announced at the Annual Founders’ Day Dinner Meeting held each June.
