- The Greenwich Preservation Network -
Description
Charles Hilton Architects is proud to support the Greenwich Preservation Network. In March 2015, the Greenwich Historical Society formed the Greenwich Preservation Network by inviting a cross-section of the town’s leadership of public and private organizations and businesses to participate. Their goal is to outline potential economic and governmental incentives for preservation of historic and architecturally significant structures–residential, commercial and institutional–and to publicize and develop programs to educate the community on local resources. Their first endeavor has been creating signs to mark each of the town’s fifteen historic districts. The first sign was placed on Greenwich Avenue to mark the Municipal Center Historic District in celebration of the 375 Greenwich Anniversary Parade on September 27, 2015.

“Chuck Hilton understands the unique history and special character of Greenwich. He has a deep knowledge of architecture and understands that the built environment is under increasing pressure from the rapid pace of development. I especially appreciate that he makes a strong civic contribution as a member of the Greenwich Historical Society's Preservation Network and as a sponsor of its Greenwich Landmarks recognition events.”

“Over the years, the Greenwich Historical Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving local history, has benefited from successful collaborations with Chuck Hilton, Principal, and his excellent design team at Charles Hilton Architects. A civic-minded firm, its architects have generously shared their knowledge and expertise to foster local education and historic preservation initiatives. Recently, these initiatives have included lectures at the Greenwich Historical Society on the history of architecture. And, to celebrate the Town’s 375th anniversary last year, the firm designed and implemented for the Greenwich Preservation Network of the Greenwich Historical Society the first of what will become a series of eleven local Historic District signs to be mounted throughout the Town. These unique signs, which are beautiful, practical, and informative, include a map, an app, and a brief history of the area’s historical importance for use by both pedestrians and motorists. In each instance, Charles Hilton Architects provided exemplary personal service.”
