Preservation North Dakota, the state's private, non-profit, grassroots coalition for historic preservation, is seeking nominations for its annual "3 Most Endangered Properties" list.
The Most Endangered List is intended to draw attention to irreplaceable historic, architectural, cultural, and archaeological resources in North Dakota that are in imminent danger of being lost. The "3 Most Endangered Properties" list draws public attention, sparks debate about cultural and architectural heritage preservation, and sometimes attracts a new owner or developer to a historic site in desperate need of a new and creative solution.
Preservation North Dakota works throughout the year to develop programs to raise public awareness about the plight of historic Prairie Churches™, school buildings, rural farm sites, historic barns, storefronts, and other buildings to develop possible preservation solutions to save and re-use them.
To qualify for listing on the "3 Most Endangered Properties" list, a site must be a resource having historical, architectural, or cultural significance that is in danger of demolition, substantial alteration, or deterioration through neglect or vandalism. Properties selected normally have local grassroots supporters trying to preserve them.
Nominations may be submitted online. The deadline for submissions is March
30. The list will be announced at a press conference held during the Annual
North Dakota Historic Preservation Conference.
