The Friends of 1800 is a grassroots, not-for-profit 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. Go here to read the Friends' Mission Statement and background information about the group.
Our Advocacy area links to preservation efforts by the Friends of 1800 and community groups involved with the New Mission Theater, Harding Theater, U.C. Extension, Sacred Heart Parish, the Fallon Building, and more.
We have an extensive listing of officially designated San Francisco Landmarks, as well as San Francisco's Historic Districts and Structures of Merit. See also our complete listing of former San Francisco movie houses along with updated information about theaters yet to be closed. |
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.
