Columbus Landmarks Foundation
The Columbus Landmarks Foundation, commonly referred to as Columbus Landmarks, is a nonprofit historic preservation organization based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1977, it is dedicated to protecting and conserving the cultural and architectural heritage of Columbus.
History
The foundation was established following the demolition of Columbus's historic Union Station, a significant event that prompted local residents to take action against the loss of iconic buildings. The organization's origins can be traced back to the Junior League of Columbus, Ohio, reflecting a broader community effort to preserve the city's historic landmarks.
Activities
Columbus Landmarks engages in several key activities to promote its mission:
- Endangered Sites List: The foundation annually publishes a list of the most endangered properties in the city, aiming to raise awareness about their historical significance and potential for redevelopment.
- Preservation Awards: Columbus Landmarks awards the Ed Lentz Prize in honor of its Director Emeritus, recognizing outstanding achievements in history and preservation projects.
- Public Tours and Events: The organization hosts numerous tours and events throughout the year, offering educational insights into Columbus's architectural and cultural legacy.
- Preservation Funds: It manages two preservation funds—one for purchasing historic buildings at risk and another providing low-interest loans for home preservation, particularly in underserved neighborhoods.
Structure and Leadership
The foundation is led by its CEO, Dr. Rebecca F. Kemper, who is the first Hispanic leader of Columbus Landmarks. Dr. Kemper brings expertise in architecture, education, and nonprofit management, recognized through various awards and recognitions.
Financials
As of 2023, Columbus Landmarks reported a revenue of approximately $376,000, with expenses amounting to approximately $359,000. The majority of its revenue comes from contributions, reflecting the significant role of donations in supporting its preservation efforts.
Mission and Impact
Columbus Landmarks is committed to promoting design excellence and sustainable growth, advocating for the preservation of Columbus's architectural and cultural heritage. Through its initiatives, it aims to shape the city's future by fostering a strong sense of community and historical preservation.
