Abstract The preservation of historic buildings in Korea has been considered to be the responsibility of the public sector. Recently, however, due to the increasing number of buildings to be preserved as well as the diversification of historic buildings induced the private sector to take a part in the preservation activity. The purpose of this study is to seek the direction of NPO?s activity in Korea on the preservation by analyzing the cases of Historic Boston Incorporated(HBI) which has played a significant role in preserving historic buildings and activating local community by utilizing those buildings. The activity of HBI provides following implications on domestic NPO activity. First, on-going stewardship, in which the profit from selling or leasing the preserved buildings is reinvested to preserve and reuse historic buildings, needs to be brought in. Secondly, the efficiency of preserving historic building business should be improved by adopting the preservation easement. Third, the preservation and reuse of historic buildings should be connected with the regeneration, reinforcement and revitalization of communities. Fourth, regional leaders must participate in preserving and reusing historic buildings in order to maximize the effects of preservation business.
