Edina, Minn., March 25, 2013 – The City of Edina is looking for entries in its 11th-annual Heritage Award

Established by the City’s Heritage Preservation Board in 2003 to showcase local historic preservation activity,

of a Colonial Revival in the Edina Country Club District; Robert Sauer and Robert Zoller, former owners of
the Coddington House on Blake Road; Edina Morningside Community Church; Dick and Jackie Whitbeck,
owners of the historic Sly Farmhouse on Brookview Avenue; the Morningside Neighborhood; owners and
tenants of Edina Cinema for their iconic sign; and Brad and Arlene Forrest, owners of the Baird House, and its
remodelers.
The Heritage Preservation Board will select this year’s winner. The Edina City Council will present the award
during National Preservation month in May. The winner will receive a commemorative plaque.
Award nominations are due 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4. A nomination should include the address of the
heritage resource, description of its preservation, rehabilitation and restoration; and the name and address of
the owner. A photo should also be included.
