Preservationist Of The Year Award

Casa del Prado; photo by Jim Brady The Committee of 100 and Pat DeMarce. For over a third of a century the Committee of 100 has held the line for Balboa Park's El Prado and the revival of Spanish Colonial architecture, which found one of it's most significant and influential expressions there. Throughout the years, Patricia DeMarce has been the driving force behind this group of dedicated preservationists. An all volunteer effort of many more than "100", the committee has been, and continues to be, actively involved in projects that restore, protect, and enhance those architectural features of San Diego's "crown jewel". Continuing reconstruction of the El Prado arcades is only the latest effort by this group, whose influence extends far beyond its project expenditures, though at last count that was over three million dollars.
