  • The Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation Annual Awards 2020
    THE BLUE GRASS TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION ANNUAL AWARDS 2020 PRESERVATION CRAFTSMAN AWARD Given to a building industry craftsman who has exhibited a strong commitment to quality craftsmanship for historic buildings. GRANT LOGAN COPPER COPPER STEEPLE RESTORATION 1ST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Grant Logan Copper specializes in custom copper and sheet-metal fabrication on both new and historic buildings. Grant Logan, of Nicholasville, re-clad the steeple on First Presbyterian Church with copper sheeting. The historic church at 174 North Mill was built in 1872 by prominent local architect Cincinnatus Shryock and is listed on the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. Each piece of copper on the steeple had to be measured, shaped and cut by hand. Adding to the chal- lenge, work to remove the old metal sheeting, repair the wooden structure of the steeple, and then attach the new copper had to be done from a lift. As work neared the top of the 175 foot steeple, the lift was not tall enough to reach the top. Grant and his workmen had to build a ladder and attach it to the steeple to finish the last 15 feet. PUBLIC SERVICE TO PRESERVATION AWARD Given to a government agency or official for service to preservation movement or to a specific project. PURCHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS PROGRAM- LFUCG The Lexington Fayette Urban County Gov- ernment’s Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) Program is turning twenty this year. The programs mission is to preserve central Kentucky’s farmland by preventing future development from occurring on participat- ing properties. In addition to protecting our natural resources, it also is a friend of historic preservation by encouraging owners to pre- serve and maintain historic aspects of their farmland, such as stone fences and outbuild- ings.

As one drives the old turnpikes around Lexington, seat of Fayette County and de facto capital of the 1.2-million-acre Inner Bluegrass, one passes gate after gate marked with brass plates quietly announcing some of the most famous names in the thoroughbred world—Calumet, Claiborne Farm, and Airdrie Stud among them. Through these gates have passed numerous Kentucky Derby winners and six of the 11 Triple Crown winners in history. With more than 450 horse farms, Bluegrass is justly known as the “horse capital of the by Andrew Slayman world.” It is a befitting moniker for a region that is to host the World Equestrian Games in 2010. By the time of the games, however, the Bluegrass may well be significantly smaller than it is today. Despite having some of the oldest and most books as much as $850 million a year in horse sales.
