THE OARD AND ...,�TTEN Newsletter ofthePacific Grove Heritage Society December 1995 /January 1996 Special Expanded Issue 20thANNIVERSARY As we enter into 1996, the Heritage Society of Pacific Grove is celebrating its 20th anniversary. From our first meeting in late 1975 and subsequent incor­ poration on June 24, 1976, the Heritage Society has grown into an effective organization with a membership of over 500 individuals and families. To help celebrate our anniversary, and to make more people aware of the Heritage Society, we are mailing this special collector's edition of our news­ letter to many residents in Pacific Grove, including our current members, past members and others who may be interested in joining the Heritage Soci­ ety of Pacific Grove. This issue features many photos of early Pacific Grove landmarks which no longer exist, for one reason or another. Additional cop­ ies may be purchased for $1.00 each at our Barn on Saturday afternoons as long as our supply lasts. Our Purpose The purpose of The Heritage Society of Pacific Grove is to encourage restora­ tion and preservation of Pacific Grove's historic buildings, to educate the pre­ sent-day residents in the areas of local history and historic preservation, to instill pride in our community and its architectural resources and to main­ tain the beauty and individuality of Pacific Grove. Historic materials, photographs and oral histories are gathered and retained by the Society. The Society also maintains an inventory of historic buildings, along with information about early citizens, commerce, schools, traditions, churches and government for the purpose of historic research and education. We have been instrumental in saving many of the old structures in Pacific Grove, which have since been restored or rehabilitated and remain integral parts of our neighborhoods, serving both current needs and as a reminder of our past. Often, we were the only public voice in saving a structure, with the silent backing of our members and neighbors. Of course, as with any or­ ganization, we can't please all the people all the time. There were a few struc­ tures where we did not step forward to save when others did, but we try to be consistent and work within the framework of the ordinances in place. Our organization and resources were key in drafting the Historic Preserva­ tion Element of The General Plan and its corresponding ordinance.
