Historic Preservation: Why Do Old Places Matter?

PEARL CHASE SOCIETY - 2025 KELLAM DE FOREST SPEAKER SERIES

CALL (805) 961-3938 TO RESERVE A SEAT.

Consider the role historic places play in everyday life here in Santa Barbara: the County Courthouse, the Old Mission, the Lobero Theater, El Paseo, Meridian Studios, even the newly restored bandshell at Pershing Park and the gazebo at Alameda Park. Each is a masterpiece of design, a container of creativity and a fond memory tied to history and are in need of care, attention and love. Over the years, the Pearl Chase Society has played a significant part in the preservation of these community treasures; examples will be discussed.
