Before you can preserve important architecture, it is necessary to know what you have. Altadena Heritage’s very first big project in the late 1980s was to conduct a “windshield survey” of all of Altadena\u2019s architectural stock.

A database of all pre-World War II homes and structures, and other significant buildings was created, augmented by extensive research on architects and builders. It was the first such digital database in California.<\/p>\n

In 2009, we received a grant from Southern California Edison, much of which went into migrating the data to a modern platform. In 2014, we implemented a preliminary online user interface to the new Altadena Heritage Architectural Database (AHAD), making the original survey data available through the Web.<\/p>\n

In 2018, we completed a redesign of AHAD’s user interface, which begins the open-ended process of updating the data itself as a continuation of our work to preserve Altadena’s rich architectural heritage. You can access all the addresses comprising our original 1988 survey here:<\/p>\n

Altadena Heritage was founded in the early 1980s, when many beautiful old homes and mansions were being demolished and replaced with tract developments, placing our community\u2019s architectural heritage in peril. Members at the time did a comprehensive survey of the existing pre-war homes, and conducted research on builders and architects. This information was encoded in a searchable database kept in our office along with a trove of old real estate documents, enabling those who want to research their houses to find this information.<\/span><\/p>

In 2009, we received a grant from Southern California Edison, much of which went into migrating the data to a modern platform. In 2014, we implemented a preliminary online user interface to the new Altadena Heritage Architectural Database (AHAD), making the original survey data available through the Web.<\/span><\/p>

In 2015, we will refine AHAD\u2019s user interface and begin the open-ended process of updating the data to support the preservation of Altadena\u2019s rich architectural heritage.<\/span><\/p>
