Preservation Alliance For Greater Philadelphia

Preservation Easement Program: The Alliance accepts preservation easements on historic properties and sites to ensure protection of those properties and sites in perpetuity. The easement program has been employed throughout the Philadelphia region since 1979. The organization currently holds 243 easements in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland; most are in the Philadelphia area.

Neighborhood Walking Tours: The Preservation Alliances guided walking tours interpret the past, present and future of the Philadelphia region as expressed through architecture design and social history. The tour program is comprised of regularly scheduled architectural walking tours, private tours, and one- time special events showcasing locations that normally are not accessible. The Architectural Walking tour program offers 60 different tours, with over 100 tours offered per season by approximately 30 volunteer guides. Approximately 1000 people a year take the tours.
