The Friends of 1800 is a grassroots,
nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving significant historical
buildings, landmarks and the architectural heritage of San Francisco
with a special interest in the identification and recognition of
issues and sites important to GLBT history and culture. Click
here to read the Friends' Mission Statement and background about
the group.
The Friends of 1800 are advocating
for the City of San Francisco to do a comprehensive Cultural Resource
Survey of the entire City that will enhance the ability to preserve
important buildings on their general historical and aesthetic merits,
and will also explicitly take into account the contributions of
LGBT peoples to the history and culture of San Francisco.
A Cultural Resource Survey is a basic tool that will lay the foundation
for the preservation of sites important to LBGT history and culture,
and will be an official recognition of the importance of LGBT history
to the culture and history of San Francisco. Read
more about this project.
