Reminder: Calling All Endangered Properties
If you know of a historic building in or around Philadelphia that is vulnerable to development, demolition, or neglect, now’s the time to speak up.
The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia is collecting nominations for its annual Endangered Properties List now through October 14. To submit a property for consideration, fill out this online form on their website.
Last year’s Endangered Properties were: Divine Lorraine, Germantown Town Hall, Cruiser Olympia, Burk Mansion, Provident Mutual, Lynnewood Hall, Henry Pierce House, Laverock Hill Estate, Dilworth House, and 109 Elfreth’s Alley.
