This being the time of the Endangered lists, the May 27th New Orleans Times Picayune reports that the Louisiana Landmark Society has released its annual New Orleans Nine. That would be nine sites that are in danger of being no more for one reason or another.
They base it on the annual list of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
THE LIST
Professor Longhair's dwelling, 1880s-- A New Orleans musical legend.
Abandoned churches throughout the city
Bracketed house, 1889-- an example of a New Orleans distinct shotgun house
Former police station 2552 St. Philip Street, 1902-- Queen Anne architecture
Lafayette Cemetery #1 in the Garden District-- featured in many movies
General Laundry, Cleaners and Dyers Building, 1939, art deco
Mid City Historic District-- 1850s to 1950s homes
Dew Drop Inn, 1939-- legendary black night club

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
