Do you know of a “historically, culturally and architecturally significant places that may be threatened with ill-advised alteration or demolition through neglect or abandonment”? If so, then the D.C. Preservation League wants to hear from you! The League is currently accepting nominations for additions to their 2011 Most Endangered Places list.

Last year’s list included Anne Archbold Hall at 19th Street and Massachusetts Avenue NE, Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church at 1518 M Street NW, several buildings within the Anacostia Historic District along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and the city’s historic firehouses. Once a building is placed on the League’s list of endangered places, the League helps to organize teams who determine potential preservation solutions. Without the attention lent by the Preservation League, historic buildings often times end up suffering demolition at the hands of natural causes. For example: after being placed on the list last year, the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church has undertaken restorations on both its steeple and beautiful stained-glass windows.

The deadline to submit a nomination is February 21. Selections will be announced in May.
