Philip Isaacson, Clerk  

Phil has served as our volunteer Clerk for many years. He is a principal with the law firm of Isaacson and Raymond in Lewiston.

 

For 35 years, Maine Preservation has encouraged the recognition and preservation of Maine's historic buildings, neighborhoods, landscapes, downtowns and communities.

We were formed in 1971 and incorporated in 1972 as Maine Citizens for Historic Preservation with the initial purpose of advocating for legislation to establish the State Historic Preservation Office (Maine Historic
Preservation Commission
) in order to properly channel Federal pass-down funding for historic preservation as a result of the National Preservation Act.
