[Hist_Pres] Nominations sought for list of Oregon's Most Endangered Places

Nominations Sought for Oregon's Most Endangered Places

 

Every year historic properties across Oregon are rehabilitated and reused,
enriching neighborhoods, revitalizing Main Streets, conserving resources,
and attracting visitors.  

Unfortunately there are also scores of historic properties in imminent
danger of being lost to hard times, development pressures, demolition or
neglect.  These unique places embody tremendous resources and tell the story
of Oregon communities - our heritage, values, industry and culture.  

The Historic Preservation League of Oregon is inaugurating an annual list of
Oregon's Most Endangered Places to preserve and pass forward at-risk
historic buildings, structures, districts, sites, and landscapes by focusing
public attention and resources on them.  Properties selected for the Most
Endangered Places List will receive assistance to address immediate threats
and develop a strategy for long term viability.  

Anyone may nominate an endangered property - residential, commercial, urban,
rural, public or private - that meets the general criteria for eligibility
in the National Register of Historic Places (over 50 years old, historic,
cultural, or architectural significance and integrity).   

Nomination forms can be downloaded from the HPLO website and must be
submitted by March 21, 2011.  The inaugural list will be announced in late
May.  For more information, call the HPLO at 503 243-1923 or visit our
website: www.HistoricPreservationLeague.org.
