In some of the early years several awards were given, while there was no award the year Cecil Hucker was society president, which we think was 1988. In 1998 the society had a joint fall meeting with the Home Culture Circle, a General Federal of Women's Clubs member, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary. The group organized Carmi's first library in the Ratcliff Inn building, and was instrumental in obtaining Carnegie funding for the 1914 library. In 2005 there was no award due to events surrounding the Key Ingredients Exhibit in Carmi. The final award was given in 2014 to the Robinson Stewart House, which is already on the National Register. Long-time Chairman Kent F.P. Boeger had retired after the 2006 award. Originally, only homes 100 years or older were considered for the award, along with integrity, restoration efforts, and historic significance.
