Abstract:

The Robert E. Stipe Award is the state's highest award given to working professionals demonstrating outstanding commitment to historic preservation as part of their job. Barbara Wishy, the director of the Endangered Properties Program for Preservation North Carolina since 1991, received the award for 2004. Over the years Wishy has restored more than a dozen historic homes, sold hundreds of endangered historic homes to people for restoration, and helped make it possible for hundreds more to be saved.
