We believe that every old structure is historically significant, tells a story, and with its own architectural detail, reflects the social, economic, and political trends of Saint Joseph and America. Each building symbolizes a specific period in our city’s history and helps us to not only understand our heritage, but embrace our future.
We believe that “action” is not only a word in our title, but it defines what is necessary to protect and preserve the heritage of Saint Joseph. The process of preservation is complex and requires everything from physical restoration to partaking in the political process.
We believe in the voice of every member.
We believe in education – education about the importance of history and the restoration of architecture.
We believe in community – the importance of every Saint Joseph citizen working together to better our community.
We believe that preservation is fun.
We believe that preservation will reinvigorate Saint Joseph and attract new citizens.
We believe in listening.
We believe in being heard.
We believe in Saint Joseph.
