This year, we gather for the 2026 Architectural Dinner in the historic Union Trust Building. Originally part of a tripartite composition designed by architect Willis G. Hale in 1888, the building underwent significant renovations—including a new facade and roof modifications—led by renowned architect Paul Philippe Cret. Today, while the exterior still boasts Classical Revival details, the interior operates as a vibrant setting for large events less than two blocks from Independence Hall.
Pulitzer Prize award-winning architecture critic, Inga Saffron, will be honored as the recipient of the 2026 Mary Werner DeNadai Award – presented to a civic leader who has made a lasting impact in historic preservation
