Today, the nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation published its annual list of the most endangered historic places in the United States.
Every year, the nonprofit aims to galvanize Americans to help local communities preserve historically significant buildings and sites under threat of destruction from factors such as natural disasters, pressure for infrastructure development, and disrepair. Since the designation’s establishment in 1988, almost 300 threatened places have been identified. Less than five percent of those sites have been destroyed thanks to the awareness and community fostered by the organization.
