LOS ANGELES CONSERVANCY

Think about your favorite building in Greater Los Angeles. Chances are, it's one of the fantastic places that help make the region unique.

The Los Angeles Conservancy works every day - as we have since 1978 - to make sure these places survive and thrive for future generations.

A private, member-based nonprofit, the L.A. Conservancy was formed in 1978 as a part of the effort to prevent demolition of the stunning Los Angeles Central Library.

What started as a handful of concerned citizens is now the largest group of its kind in the U.S., with more than 6,000 member households, hundreds of volunteers, and a full-time staff of nearly twenty.

The Conservancy is based in downtown Los Angeles but works throughout L.A. County - which spans 88 cities plus the County's unincorporated areas.
