About the Western Office
The Western Office is located in downtown San Francisco, California in the historic Hearst Building. Since 1971 the Western Office has been helping preserve the defining historic and cultural landmarks of our region. Working with state and local partners, community leaders, public officials, and grassroots advocacy groups, we provide technical assistance, small grants, and legal interventions to support the protection, stewardship, and continued use of heritage resources.
