Seattle (Wash.). Office of Urban Conservation

The Office of Urban Conservation was created in 1975 as part of the Dept. of Community Development (DCD). It was founded in an era of citizen protests against a proposed urban renewal program that would have demolished Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market. The office's mandate was to coordinate Seattle's historic preservation programs and administer the city's landmark boards and historic districts. When the DCD was abolished in 1992, the office became the Historic Preservation Program in the Dept. of Neighborhoods.
