Nominations being taken for endangered historic places; deadline Jan. 2024

Preservation Virginia seeks nominations for the most endangered historic places in the state. The deadline for submitting one or more properties is January 5, 2024. Nominate properties online.

According to Preservation Virginia,

The list, which has brought attention to 170 sites in Virginia, encourages individuals, organizations and local and state governments to advocate for their preservation and find solutions that will save these unique locations for future generations. The program has a track record of success. Only 10% of the sites listed so far were lost to demolition or neglect.

This year’s program reflects some of the most pressing issues impacting historic places in Virginia and the nation, including threats from inequality, climate change and flooding, large-scale industrial development, lack of stewardship and changes in urban planning to accommodate increased housing needs. Partnerships are needed on local, state and federal levels to find adaptive, collaborative solutions for preserving unique historic sites for the benefit of Virginia communities.
