Founded in 1966, Architectural Heritage Foundation has been blending the fields of historic preservation and real estate development for over forty years. By combining a preservationist's vision with a businessman's sensibility, AHF's founder and Chairman Emeritus, Roger Webb, created a new model for urban redevelopment.

AHF's first focus was the Quincy Markets, where our feasibility studies outlined the financial model for the Markets' redevelopment into the acclaimed Faneuil Hall Marketplace complex. Shortly thereafter in 1969, AHF won stewardship of Boston's Old City Hall. Our successful redevelopment of this grande dame structure into a thriving restaurant and office building demonstrated the relevance of adaptive reuse to downtown Boston's future. AHF continues to manage and maintain Old City Hall, safeguarding its historic character for future generations to enjoy.

Today, under the leadership of Sean McDonnell, AHF's president since 2000, we have renewed our commitment to revitalizing communities through preservation and integration of their historic structures. While maintaining our longstanding interest in local Boston issues and projects, AHF has expanded its focus to include cities and towns throughout New England. By leveraging programs like the Federal and State Tax Credits for Historic Rehabilitation, AHF continues to use
preservation-based development to create positive transformation in our communities.
