Charles J. Fisher is a published author[1] and Los Angeles-based historic preservation activist[2][3] who has successfully nominated more than 100 historic buildings as City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments.[4]
Fisher, a native Angeleno, together with other historical preservation advocates, founded the Highland Park Heritage Trust to halt the demolition of pristine Craftsman and Mission Revival homes in favor of low-quality, high-density apartment structures.[5] The Heritage Trust historic survey assessed hundreds of properties[6] to create the Highland Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (Highland Park HPOZ), the largest HPOZ in the city of Los Angeles. Fisher has served numerous times as president of the Heritage Trust, and currently serves on the Highland Park HPOZ board.
Fisher has worked in conjunction with the Los Angeles Conservancy,[7] the Highland Park Heritage Trust, various historical societies,[8][9] and numerous Los Angeles neighborhood councils,[10] resident's groups, community groups,[11] and advocacy groups[12][13] to preserve Los Angeles' unique historic architectural and cultural legacy.
