Francisco Architectural Heritage encourages appreciation of the
built environment and understanding of the value of preserving significant
San Francisco architecture. We offer lectures, workshops, seminars
and architectural walking tours through which thousands of San Francisco
residents and visitors have discovered the diverse and wondrous
man-made features of the City. Heritage also published and promoted Splendid Survivors, the definitive work on architecturally
significant buildings in the downtown area. The book greatly expanded
public awareness of these structures. Finally, Heritage awards commendations
to help bring about greater recognition of the importance of preserving
the City's unique architectural heritage among government leaders,
the business sector and the community at large, reversing the prevailing
trend of a few decades ago to disregard and demolish older architecture. |
