Joint Architectural Review Board Announces Winners of Annual Awards Program

The Joint Architectural Review Board of Loudoun County has announced the winners of its annual awards program that recognizes individuals, organizations and companies whose projects in locally designated historic districts have made a positive and lasting contribution. 

The Joint Architectural Review Board is a nationally recognized awards program between the Towns of Leesburg, Purcellville, and Middleburg; Loudoun County; and the Loudoun Preservation Society to recognize outstanding projects in the locally designated historic districts across the County. The program began in 2008 and has recognized over 150 examples of architectural excellence and successful preservation projects in the four participating jurisdictions. In 2011, a community-wide category was added, known as the Community Blue Ribbon award, which allows individuals to nominate projects of great importance to them in Loudoun County.
