Preservation Dallas will give The Oak Cliff Society of Fine Arts its 2013 Stewardship Award in a ceremony this month. The society won the award because of its dedication to maintaining the 101-year-old Turner House at 401 N. Rosemont. The Dallas Power and Light Building on South Tyler has been singled out for a preservation achievement award. The 84-year-old building is headquarters to Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters and a photography agency, Sisterbrother Mgmt. Old Oak Cliff Conservation League past president John McCall bought the building in 2007 and spent about three years renovating it.
