Since 1972, the Foundation's mission has focused on the preservation of historic architecture in Schenectady County. Over the years, this not-for-profit, volunteer organization has supported a variety of projects through education, advocacy and grants. It has concentrated on building conservation, area and neighborhood rehabilitation, and stabilization of the four unique historic districts in the city of Schenectady.
(membership is made up of representatives and officers from the Stockade Association, Union Triangle Association, Union Corridor Association and the Realty Plot Association.)
