DC's Most endangered places (Press conference tomorrow)

10th Annual Most Endangered List to Be Announced Wednesday
EVENT: Wednesday, May 24, at the World War I Memorial, 12:30 P.M.

From Rebecca Miller, Director, DC Preservation League:

The DC Preservation League will announce its 10th annual list of Most Endangered Places in Washington on Wednesday, May 24, at 12:30 p.m. at the DC World War I Memorial (West Potomac Park on the National Mall/Independence Avenue SW). Leaders from the DC Preservation League and the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be on hand.

This list has been issued annually since 1996. The Most Endangered Places in Washington are chosen by the Board of Trustees of the DC Preservation League from nominations submitted by concerned individuals and organizations. These sites are chosen based on the severity of the threat of destruction to the buildings and landscapes in question, whether through demolition, neglect, or inappropriate alteration. The list can include buildings, parks or other landscaped areas, or even vistas and other aspects of the city's unique planned history. All Most Endangered Places listed are located in the District of Columbia.

Detailed descriptions of each site and the threats motivating their inclusion on these lists are included in a brochure produced by DCPL that will be available at the event.

The DC Preservation League invites volunteers, civic associations, District government, and other groups to partner with the League in preserving and protecting these endangered places.

For more information, please contact the DC Preservation League, at 202-783-5144, or by email.
