Preserving and maintaining historic structures requires the special touch of professionals who understand the importance of preserving historic character -- and who have the skills to do so. To help you protect and enhance your investment in Los Angeles County's rich architectural legacy, this directory lists businesses and professionals with expertise in various aspects of historic preservation.

Call for Referrals

To keep this directory as comprehensive and useful as possible, we always seek qualified participants. To refer someone with whom you have worked, please e-mail their contact information to directory@laconservancy.org.

If you work in a preservation-related field and are interested in being listed in our directory, please download this additional information and application form. Directory listings cost $120 a year.

Disclaimer
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USING THE DIRECTORY:

  • The Los Angeles Conservancy makes no claims or endorsements of businesses offering any products or services listed in the Preservation Resource Directory.
  • All businesses in the directory have paid the Conservancy for their listing. The directory is by no means comprehensive; businesses not listed here may be just as qualified as those included.
  • As with any business transaction, remember, it's "buyer beware." Be sure to ask for -- and verify -- references.
  • Protect your investment: ask for verification that businesses have the appropriate licenses and insurance coverage.
  • Many cities in the county designate certain historic buildings and regulate alterations to them (for example, Los Angeles has both individual Historic-Cultural Monuments and buildings within Historic Preservation Overlay Zones). Before altering a designated structure, be sure to obtain proper permits and sign-offs from responsible city agencies (such as the City Planning Department, Department of Building and Safety and/or the Department of Housing). If you have questions about how to do this, please contact the Conservancy at (213) 623-2489 or info@laconservancy.org.
  • Be suspicious of recommendations that insist upon replacing historic elements without considering restoration. While sometimes this is necessary, restoration of historic features is always preferred, and often can cost less than replacement.
  • If you have any problems with someone listed in this directory, please report them to Marcello Vavala at the Conservancy (213-430-4217 or mvavala@laconservancy.org) Verifiable complaints may lead to the removal of a business from the directory.

Pershing Square
Downtown Los Angeles

Pershing Square is the oldest public park in Los Angeles. Its history extends back two hundred years when it was a vacant lot known as block number 15. In 1866, an ordinance was signed declaring the park "...a public square for the use and benefit of the citizens of the common." Over the last century the park has undergone numerous changes including the addition of underground parking in the 1950s. In the 1990s, the park was significantly remodeled by a design team led by architect Ricardo Legoretta and landscape architect Laurie Olin.
