San 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.
