Kuhnel also served 11 years on the Eureka Heritage Society’s board of directors, 15 years on the city’s Historic Preservation Commission and made many appearances before the planning commission and city council. Designation of the Clark Historic District has yet to be achieved, but the mountain of documentation collected by Kuhnel and others is there for the next push.

It all began when a homeowner wanted to build an apartment complex on Clark Street. Kuhnel was one of the principal advocates for the creation of a Clark Historic District, and she worked tirelessly developing the project. Through her efforts, these homes made their way onto the Local Register of Historic Places, and the Magdalena house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. During a period of 25 years, she was primarily responsible for the restoration and preservation of the Magdalena Zanone House at 16th and G streets and the original Zanone House next door, as well as the houses at Eighth and M and Washington and A streets.
