Our Efforts So Far.

2024 — Review of the George Harvey House.

A Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR 523) evaluation did not classify the George house as a historic resource. Advocates have raised questions about assessing both homes in their broader historical context.

2026 — Research and preservation case-building.

Historical records and the two houses' shared agricultural story were assembled into flyers, public information materials, and preservation arguments.

2026 — Petition and community outreach.

Supporters launched a Change.org petition, distributed flyers, canvassed neighbors, and worked with community groups and student clubs.

September 2026 — Public advocacy before HARB.

Preservation advocates, including a student speaker, brought their concerns to Fremont's Historical Architectural Review Board.

Fall 2026 — Building a broader coalition. 

Outreach has involved local organizations, historians, preservation experts, and college professors. Articles for the Tri-City Voice have been developed to share the houses' history.

ONGOING — Continuing public engagement. 

Residents can support the petition, contact local decision-makers, share their own memories, and join outreach efforts.

Help document the campaign: Future updates could include dated meeting notes, official city proposals, archived flyers, press coverage, public comments, and campaign milestones.
