About Us
Who we are
We are a pro-active group of residents who are committed to preserving what is great about Telegraph Hill and improving the items that need attention for our neighbors and visitors to our neighborhood
Founded in 1954, the Telegraph Hill Dwellers (THD) is one of the oldest, largest, and most widely respected neighborhood organizations in the nation.
Over its more than six decades, THD has led the way in celebrating, beautifying, and protecting San Francisco’s most unique and historic neighborhoods. Without the hard work and support of THD volunteers and members, Telegraph Hill, North Beach, and the Northeast Waterfront would be vastly different from the beloved and special places they are today.
Committees
Comprised of volunteers, each committee works to support THD’s mission statement.
Current members are always welcome to attend meetings and join committees.
