Historic-Cultural Monument status will
preserve your historic home and may provide you with substantial tax relief by means
of the Mills Act. Charlie Fisher has participated in over a hundred successful Historic-Cultural Monument nominations, and has provided substantial work in establishing the
Highland Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, the largest HPOZ in the City
of Los Angeles. He is the author of Highland Park and Garvanza (Images of America: California).

vitae. Charlie has written and/or researched and advocated numerous successful nominations. Find his full list here.
Does your older house qualify as an
Historic-Cultural Monument? It may! Charlie has discovered many a diamond in
the rough. You may be surprised to discover that you own a truly historic
property.
Is a precious landmark near you
threatened with demolition or development? You or your community
organization may be able to protect it, even if you don't own the property. History
belongs to all of the citizens of Los Angeles, and anyone can nominate a
property as an Historic-Cultural Monument. Even if the property does not receive
Historic-Cultural Landmark status, it will be protected for a few precious
months while preservation strategies can be prepared.
Want to try to do it yourself? Charlie
believes in preservation. He's not in it for the money. Here is a quick
description of how to do
it yourself.
But it's risky. If you don't do it right
the first time, your second try is much, much harder. Charlie has been able to
make successful second tries when an owner has been declined the first time, but
it's always tricky. Why chance it? You might be surprised at how much bang
you'll get for your buck with this Historian 4 Hire. Call 323-256-3593 for a free telephone consultation,
