Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance's Most Endangered List Due November 23Is a historic property near you threatened with demolition, or is it abandoned and slowly deteriorating? If so, nominate it to the 2010 list of Iowa's Most Endangered Properties.
Iowa's Most Endangered Properties is a program begun in 1995 to show Iowans the special buildings and historic sites that are slowly and gradually slipping away from us. Each year a call is placed for nominations through the IHPA membership, Main Street communities, and historic preservation commissions across the state.
A panel of judges considers four criteria in choosing the final list: geographic distribution, historic significance, nature of the threat, and variety of building type. The program provides an excellent resource for media coverage and introduces endangered property owners to preservation advocates and resources that can help preserve their historic property
IHPA's Most Endangered program showcases Iowa's historic resources that need our help the most. Find out more and download the nomination form and entry guidelines on the Most Endangered Properties page.
Iowa Preservationists: please don't let this opportunity pass to call attention to an endangered historic property in your community. The Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance (IHPA) has just extended the deadline for Iowa's Most Endangered Properties List submissions to November 23.
