The Yard restoration project was one of 17 entries to be recognized with a 1994 National Preservation Honor Award, according to Elizabeth F. Jones, Director of Preservation Programs at the National Trust.
The Trust praised Harvard's restoration team for its "meticulous efforts to return the historic buildings and their settings to their original appearance."
In addition to the buildings, the three-quarter-mile long wrought iron and masonry fence encircling the Yard was restored. But Harvard's restoration project will continue into the next century. Over the next several years, 250 trees will be replanted.
Elimination of the fee hike and restoration of the check-off option were two of her major reform platforms.
"The gift will be symbolic of the completion and restoration of the greatness of this institution," Knowles said.
