Funded by grants and donations from individual community members, the Conservancy engaged preeminent architectural historians Michael Corbett, Katherine Petrin, and Shayne Watson to document the architectural and cultural history of North Beach and identify significant buildings and sites. Their work resulted in the North Beach Historic Context Statement, unanimously adopted by the SF Historic Preservation Commission in December 2022, representing the most comprehensive record of architecturally and culturally important buildings in North Beach. When the Context Statement was approved, all the basic components of a historic district were set forth – the period of significance, district boundaries and an integrity framework. This is the basis of the nomination of a North Beach Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places now pending before the State Historic Resources Commission.
