About the evening
Join Preservation Houston as we gather to recognize the visionaries, preservationists and advocates who keep Houston’s architectural heritage alive. The Cornerstone Dinner is our annual evening of recognition — a chance to honor exceptional local preservation projects and the people behind them. It’s also a moment to reflect on how preservation continues to shape Houston’s future and to raise essential support for the work that makes it possible.
Why be there
The Cornerstone Dinner is Houston’s preservation community at its most inspiring: a gathering of the people who are shaping the city’s future while honoring its past. Preservation advocates, architects, designers, developers, community leaders and friends come together for an evening of conversation, connection and celebration. Together we honor the year’s Good Brick Award winners and the shared commitment that continues to build a stronger, more livable Houston.
