Preservation

Preserving important structures, landscapes and other aspects of the built environment is a key tenet of the Society's mission. One way the Society has taken a leadership role is by developing guidelines for architects and historians who have been asked to testify about the significance of a building or landscape.

Preservation issues of local significance should be directed to your State Historic Preservation Office or to local preservation organizations.
