The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is scheduled to hear public comments and potentially vote on plans to paint the historic granite facade of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) on Thursday, May 7.

Painting this National Historic Landmark would cause irreversible physical harm and create ongoing and costly maintenance obligations that currently do not exist.

Across historic, technical, financial, preservation, aesthetic, and symbolic considerations, painting the EEOB is not just unnecessary; it introduces permanent damage, recurring costs, and potential nationwide consequences.

Completed in 1971, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is an iconic architectural treasure that serves both as the nation’s living memorial to President Kennedy and as the United States’ principal national performing arts center.

Today, a coalition of eight leading cultural heritage and architectural organizations, jointly represented by three law firms, filed suit in federal district court in Washington, DC seeking to require the Trump administration to comply with historic preservation laws and secure Congressional authorization before implementing the President’s plans to further alter the Kennedy Center.

The filing follows statements by President Trump that he may soon take the building “down to the steel” during a two-year closure beginning July 4, 2026.

It is unprecedented for so many national and regional organizations to join together to defend a single historic building and its grounds, reflecting both the Kennedy Center’s significance and the breadth of concern the administration’s approach could weaken longstanding federal protections for historic sites nationwide.

Did you know one of Hollywood’s most important power couples lived right here in the hills of Los Feliz, and cultivated an early LGBTQ+ space in Los Angeles? 🏡✨

Dorothy Arzner was a pioneering director in an era when women directors were exceedingly rare, as Hollywood made the transition from silent films to talkies. Throughout her career, Arzner accomplished many firsts, including the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America and the first woman to direct a sound film. Arzner’s life partner of 40 years, Marion Morgan, was a renowned dancer and choreographer who had her own groundbreaking performance troupe, the Marion Morgan Dancers, and choreographed dance sequences for many films, including Arzner’s “Manhattan Cocktail”.

Together, Dorothy and Marion commissioned this Greek Revival-style home with sweeping views of Los Angeles where they lived for over 20 years. During a time of Hays Code enforcement and censorship in the film industry, the Arzner-Morgan Residence served as a creative refuge and social gathering space for many of Hollywood’s leading ladies and LGBTQ+ community.

On this #WomensLandmarkWednesday, USC Master of Heritage Conservation student, Evan McAvenia, shares why we’re working to amend the original Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument designation of this landmark to reflect the home’s FULL history through the L.A. Women’s Landmarks Project—a partnership between the Los Angeles Conservancy and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Where Women Made History initiative.

The Benn High Redevelopment is bringing a long-vacant, 100,000 square foot public-school building back to life in Bennington, Vermont.

This restoration will transform it into a community anchor that provides housing, services, and opportunities in a rural community with limited access to investment capital.

With financing support from the National Trust Community Investment Corporation (NTCIC), the project was designed to serve residents across all income levels and life stages.

Benn High’s tenants, including the Town of Bennington, the YMCA, and the University of Vermont Extension, deliver essential services to low- and moderate-income residents while strengthening community ties.

The Clara Barton National Historic Site (Glen Echo, Maryland), where the American Red Cross and “disaster response” was born, will begin its $14 million rehabilitation by the National Park Service (NPS) in late 2026.

A coalition of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, @npcapics @ncwhs_org and many others ensured that the 130-year-old Barton Site will be preserved and re-opened to the public to tell the remarkable life story of Clara Barton and the Red Cross.

The coalition also established an official Friends group—The Clara Barton Fund—with NPS, a major achievement that will protect, interpret, and raise funds for the Barton NHS over the long term.

The Clara Barton Fund was incorporated in Maryland as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It operates in partnership with the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the NPS unit that administers the Barton Site.

The organization’s co-founders, Elizabeth Planet and Elizabeth Witherspoon, emphasize that the Clara Barton Fund’s origins are firmly rooted in collaboration and that the group aspires to tell Barton’s story fully, illuminating parts of her life’s work that have often been overlooked.

Planet and Witherspoon “look forward to building on the legacy of so many who have come before us to tell the story of Clara Barton’s remarkable accomplishments as an entrepreneur, educator, lobbyist, fundraiser, and international humanitarian.”

Members of the National Trust Council joined friends and partners for a special welcome reception and dinner at the magnificent Cleveland Arcade, opened in 1890 as America’s inaugural indoor shopping center.

Known as “Cleveland’s Crystal Palace,” this gem is the city’s first building to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 2002 was honored with the National Trust’s Trustees’ Award for Organizational Excellence.

Today, its stunning restoration as the worldclass Hyatt Regency Hotel is a shining example of the power of adaptive reuse to revitalize historic downtowns.
