The Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) was founded in 1964 by a group of citizens who passionately believed that historic preservation, rather than massive demolition, could be a tool for renewing communities, building pride among residents, and achieving sustainable economic development. After more than 50 years of work throughout the Pittsburgh region, PHLF has shown that architectural landmarks and historic neighborhoods are community assets and that historic preservation is a catalyst for urban renewal.
