Patricia Dahlberg of La Jolla Historical Society will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award

Patricia Dahlberg will receive SOHOs Lifetime Achievement Award for 50 years of visionary leadership and tireless service as president of the La Jolla Historical Society.

The La Jolla Historical Society itself will be recognized as Preservationist of the Year, for its expanded role as a preservation advocate (action Dahlberg initiated) and for contributing to the restoration and return to public use of two historic buildings, Wisteria Cottage and the William Black House, aka UC San Diegos chancellors house.

La Jolla Light reporter Pat Sherman, as well as the Light newspaper, will receive SOHOs Town Crier award for ongoing coverage of historic buildings at risk, such as the La Jolla Post Office, and for bringing preservation issues and debates to the front page.

James Rega fastidiously restored one of the internationally revered, but long-threatened cottages at El Pueblo Ribera in La Jolla. Designed by the great modernist Rudolph Schindler, this compound of interconnected cottages and patios has suffered over the years for several reasons, including the mistaken use of beach sand in the original concrete mix, house fires and remodeling to enclose original rooftop sleeping porches.
