YARMOUTH — Since 1996, Maine Preservation has released the Maine Most Endangered Historic Places list to focus positive media attention and boost local efforts to protect a broad range of threatened places throughout the state. Nomination of an endangered place is a chance for Mainers to shine a light on the places that matter to their communities; helping to save these places becomes an objective of Maine Preservation’s work.
Maine Preservation is now accepting nominations for its 2019 Most Endangered Historic Places list. To be eligible, a nominated property must be: Historic (at least 50 years old) and threatened; saveable, there is potential to eliminate the threat and to rehabilitate/re-use the property. To nominate a property for the List, community members should complete the online nomination form: bit.ly/2019MaineMostEndangered. Nominations are due July 10, 2019. The Maine Preservation staff and Board of Trustees review nominations for the final selection, with input from the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. The 2019 list will be announced in September.
For more information or questions about the program, contact Ali Barrionuevo, ali@mainepreservation.org, 207-847-3577. Maine Preservation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit member-based statewide historic preservation organization, that promotes and preserves historic places, buildings, downtowns and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities.
