Forty years ago, Milford Wayne Donaldson, FAIA founded Heritage Architecture & Planning, San Diego’s longest-standing and most-honored historic preservation firm. Heritage offers a comprehensive range of historical and architectural services. The firm’s current projects involve some of the region’s most significant buildings, including the Hotel Del Coronado, Mission San Diego de Alcalá, and the San Diego Santa Fe Depot.
About the Company In 1978, when Milford Wayne Donaldson laid the foundation for Heritage Architecture & Planning, it was in an environment that pitted progress against preservation. Since then we have all come to appreciate our past and Heritage has been committed to preserving cultural resources and the built environment.
Heritage approaches every project with the understanding that each resource has a distinct identity with its own challenges. It is our appreciation of each resource’s singular value that allows Heritage to collaborate with owners and communities to help protect their unique historic resources. Whether the work includes research, consultation, rehabilitation, or design, Heritage has dedicated itself to ensuring that the resources of our shared past remain as part of our collective future.
