context_page_description: Architectural Resources Group is a firm that was founded in 1980 by Bruce Judd and Steve Farneth in San Francisco, CA. It began by providing professional services in the fields of architecture and urban planning with particular expertise in the area of historic preservation. In 2000, David Wessel, a Principal of ARG, founded a separate conservation-contracting division, ARG Conservation Services which operates under the same roof as ARG. By 2005, the firm had expanded to a full-service architecture firm with 50+ employees. ARG also opened offices in Pasadena serving Southern California, and Portland, Oregon, serving the Pacific Northwest.
context_section_description: Because of the complex range of issues common to preservation projects, the firm associates with consultants in diverse fields such as architectural history, preservation technology, building pathology, urban planning, building materials, engineering, real estate, and economics.
  ARG was among the first architecture firms in the United States to include architectural conservators as staff members. ARG has provided a range of services for various National Historic Landmarks, buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, local historic districts, and other culturally significant sites.
