The winners of the architecture scavenger hunt are Travis Durham and Tracy Stone. Winners should stop by Monroe City Hall at 300 W. Crowell St. and ask for Megan Brightharp or Keri Mendler to pick up their prize.

The architecture scavenger hunt featured seven historic properties in the City of Monroe. Participants visited each location and took note of the address and name of the historic building. Those who got all locations correct were entered into a drawing to win prizes.
