Boston Preservation Alliance

The Boston Preservation Alliance is a nonprofit organization that aims to protect and improve the quality of Boston’s historic buildings, landscapes and communities through advocacy and education. The Alliance originally formed as the City Conservation League, a group of citizens advocating the preservation of the Jordan Marsh block of the city in the spring of 1975. Three years later, in 1978, the group became Boston’s first grassroots historic preservation advocacy under the name of the Boston Preservation Alliance in recognition of its founding as an informal association of 25 member organizations. Today the Alliance works with almost one hundred organizational and corporate members and hundreds of individual members.

The Boston Preservation Alliance is the local partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Boston.
