Preservation Ohio is pleased to issue the official Call for Nominations to the 2023 List of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites.
This important list highlights important pieces of Ohio history that face an uncertain future, and which deserve the attention of all Ohioans as remnants of the past that merit preservation.
Each year, Ohio’s original statewide preservation organization searches for houses, commercial buildings, governmental structures, bridges, historic roadways, landscapes, downtowns, neighborhoods and other important pieces of Ohio history that face a potentially risky future. The list serves to highlight those properties which are both historically significant and endangered — whether it be by threats of demolition, long-term disinvestment or neglect, insensitive governmental action, uncertainty or indifference.
Nominations for this important list have come from individuals, preservation organizations, downtown and neighborhood revitalization organizations, historical societies, historic road associations, local governments, and other entities.
The list has received substantial media attention, including coverage in all of Ohio’s major newspapers, as well as in magazines, lifestyle publications and local media. Preservation Ohio has also made site visits each year to endangered properties and worked with local advocates to advance preservation efforts.
2023 marks the 30th anniversary year for this important list. Throughout the year we will be highlighting formerly listed properties and lists.
