NTHP's 2009 Eleven Most-Endangered Sites

Every year I look forward to this organization's list of most-endangered sites. It focuses public attention on some classic spots we might not have for long and that is always a good thing. I am a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

This year's class includes:

Century Plaza Hotel-- LA
Miami Marine Stadium-- Miami
Dorchester Academy-- Midway, Georgia
Lanai City-- Honolulu Hawaii
Ames Shovel Shops-- Easton, Massachusetts
Memorial Bridge-- Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, Me.
Mount Taylor-- Grants, NM
Human Service Center-- Yankton, SD
Manhattan Project's Enola Gay Hangar-- Wendover, Utah
Cast Iron Architecture-- Galveston, Tx

Oops, seem to have missed one. I'll have to go back and look.

OK, it is the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois (my home state, wouldn't you know).
