CHAUTAUQUA – The search for the “Prettiest Painted Places in America” is narrowing, with Chautauqua Institution chosen as one of 10 finalists from the U.S. Northeast named by the Paint Quality Institute, an informational entity whose mission is to educate the public about quality paints and coatings.
Founded in 1874, Chautauqua is a National Historic Landmark for its contribution to American culture as well as a National Historic District and recipient of the Heritage Award from the Urban Land Institute. In 2010 Chautauqua received the Silver Award from the International Awards for Livable Communities. It has also been honored by the American Institute of Architects for its commitment to historic preservation.
The 12 national winners will be named later this month.
