Altadena Heritage

Founded as a Committee of the Altadena Town Council in the mid-1980s, the issue sparking Heritage’s formation was the destruction, and/or imminent plans to tear down and redevelop many historically significant homes and properties. The prospect of losing so much of what makes Altadena special was an emergency of that era that rallied a group of committed residents. It was recognized that a lack of any historical designation or protective ordinance for unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County often put the best interests of Altadena in peril. The first committee of Altadena Heritage decided to study the problem and design strategies to empower us to advocate for our town’s heritage and to preserve neighborhood integrity.
