What We Do

People often ask us what we do as preservation advocates...

At Preserve RI we aim to find productive uses for old buildings​ and demonstrate best stewardship practices at the historic buildings​ under our care. We also offer guidance and support to local groups defending threatened places​​ through our Community Preservation Response program, identify and find solutions for common preservation challenges, and advocate for legislation, including historic tax credits, that revitalizes historic buildings and strengthens the economy.
