Nice News - Since 1988, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has generated a list of the “most endangered historic places” in the United States, and the 2023 iteration, containing 11 culturally significant spots, is out. From the Chinatown districts in both Seattle and Philadelphia to a gas station in Arizona that dates back to 1929, these sites are at risk of being torn down by real estate developers or falling into permanent disrepair. But the National Trust’s annual list was created for the very purpose of saving them, and it has a solid track record. After the century-old Camp Naco in Bisbee, Arizona, was listed last year, it received over $8 million in grant funding and “is now being restored and programmed for community use,” the trust’s chief preservation officer, Katherine Malone-France, told NPR.
