Nevada Announces the "Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places"
for 2008-2009
- Preserve Nevada
announced their 2008 choices for Nevada's "Eleven Most Endangered
Historic Places" in Reno, Nevada at 12:00 pm on Thursday, May
22, 2008. The announcement took place at the Nevada Historical
Society's Biennial Conference on Nevada History, located at 1650
N. Virginia Street, Reno, Nevada 89503.
Preserve Nevada
selected Nevada's "Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places" as
a part of its program to bring attention to historically significant
buildings, sites, and landscapes under threat of destruction.
"Nevada is in danger of losing many of its cultural and architectural
treasures to the state's unprecedented development," said former
Sen. Richard H. Bryan, chairman of the Preserve Nevada board.
"I hope that as we build awareness of the importance of these
historic places, they will serve as testaments to our preservation
successes in the future."
Additionally,
Preserve Nevada created updates on several past "Eleven Most
Endangered" sites in order to bring attention to their current
situations. Finally, Preserve Nevada has indicated several success
stories regarding historic preservation in the state.
