Grant Award Summary

The National Park Service (NPS) awarded $300,868 under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) to the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks on September 23, 2025, for physical preservation work on the Hill-Physick House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The project, which extends through April 30, 2029, focuses on two primary preservation activities: repointing building masonry and preserving the windows of this nationally significant historic property. This grant exemplifies the Save America's Treasures program's mission to provide preservation and conservation assistance for nationally significant historic properties through a competitive awards process administered by the NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

The award required the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks to secure a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match, which may be provided through cash or documented in-kind contributions. These preservation activities address critical structural maintenance needs typical of Save America's Treasures projects, which commonly involve building restoration and structural repairs to protect historic structures from deterioration. The Hill-Physick House project represents one of three major Save America's Treasures grants secured by Landmarks Society, demonstrating the organization's capacity to manage complex historic preservation initiatives while meeting federal matching requirements.
