We Love Our Members

Stacey Ingram Kaleh

“I think being able to experience the power of a historical site and connect with each other through our journey as a community are keys to maintaining authenticity, to igniting thoughtful growth that respects what makes us who we are as a city, and to fostering that emotional connection to place and to each other.”
Randy Meeks: Eastside Lumber & Decking, Business Member

“We are not so much interested in what we get out of supporting Preservation Austin as we are in helping them showcase historic buildings and houses. I hate to see architecturally historical and relevant structures destroyed without thinking about the non-monetary value…I like that Preservation Austin is working to educate people about heritage and the fact that you cannot go back once you do the demolition.”
Pat Calhoun

“To me, preservation means conservation, protection and care. As we move forward into the future, I believe it is important to at least know what came before and take measures to protect it. ‘The past is prologue.’ ”
