Welcome to Hazard Decorative Arts!

Janet & Allen | Allen Hazard has studied the Arts and Crafts Movement and is an enthusiast of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture. Besides having a keen mind for interpreting historical events, Allen is able to distill the important and intriguing elements of a point in time as they relate to events or to the artifacts of those time. It is this combination of seeking out the facts and a true love of art and history that make Allen's contributions to our business invigorating and refreshing. Allen also has an eye for quality items! He is also an Professor of Health and Exercise Science at Southwestern College, Grossmont College and National University (San Diego).
Allen has served as the event coordinator for several area historic home tours and has managed coordination of publicity, written materials, managed volunteers and has held a wide variety of positions to support successful local fund-raisers for the preservation community. Allen was the man with the vision that resulted in two local historic districts in Mission Hills. Allen has an M.A. in exercise science and BA in Physical Education and History, all from San Diego State University. |

Hazard Decorative Arts is a member of the American Art Pottery Association and honors that organizations code of ethics for selling art pottery.
Besides our love for the early 20th Century, we are active in our San Diego historical communities. We have been volunteers and in leadership positions with Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO), our local county preservation group, and were instrumental in founding and organizing Mission Hills Heritage - a neighborhood preservation group. Janet also serves on the Uptown Planners board.
We both received a People in Preservation Award from Save Our Heritage Organisation recognizing the work for the Mission Hills Historic District. We began to prepare historic designation research reports for our friends and neighbors and have helped local residents gain historical designation to help preserve their homes. In May 2007, Allen and Janet received their second SOHO People in Preservation (PIP) award within the past two years for contributions with Mission Hills Heritage, a community nonprofit preservation organization.
We may be able to help you with your San Diego historic designation research as well. Please contact us if you would like Happy Hazard, LLC, to perform the historical research on your older home (City of San Diego only).
Lastly, we have a lot to say, because we are so involved in our business and with an active preservation community. We will post articles on this page as we submit them for publication.
Now, that you know a little about us, we'd like to know more about you. We do a lot of business on the web but nothing can replace a face to face meeting. We hope to meet you sometime and if you see us out and about please stop us to say hello.
Thanks you for visiting our site.
