Moscow, Idaho, Historic Preservation Awards Announced: University of Idaho Historic District's National Register Listing Is the Highlight
According to a Moscow local report published Oct. 24, the City of Moscow Historic Preservation Commission unanimously confirmed this year's six Orchid Award winning projects at its Oct. 22 meeting, with the highlight being the University of Idaho Historic District's listing earlier this month in the National Register of Historic Places. Six University of Idaho professors, students and consultants who worked three years on the nomination were honored. Other honorees include longtime Moscow resident, attorney, community volunteer and commission member Jack Porter; a porch addition at 500 South Hayes Street; the downtown building at 405 South Washington Street, whose brick wall was rebuilt in historic character after a pickup truck crash in June 2025; and a home at 216 North Adams Street with a second-story addition and period-appropriate facade details. The annual Orchid Awards ceremony will be held Nov. 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Lecompte Auditorium on the second floor of the 1912 Center, free and open to the public.
