10 Most Endangered Historic Properties for 2013!
Anchorage, Alaska (May 30, 2013) – The Alaska Association for Historic Preservation
(AAHP) has announced the state’s Ten Most Endangered Historic Properties for 2013. The
list is announced each year and is intended to bring public awareness to Alaska’s threatened historic properties. Heightened awareness often leads to increased support for the conservation of endangered historic properties, which are assets important to tourism, economic development, and the cultural heritage
of Alaska. AAHP has been identifying the Most Endangered Historic Properties since 1991.
The program calls attention to threatened properties that define our great state, the people that live here and the identity that we share. The nominations for this program are submitted by individuals and organizations living throughout Alaska.
The Ten Most Endangered Grant Program funds hands-on preservation work on endangered properties
and serves as seed money to leverage funding from other sources. Properties listed on the 2013 List are eligible to apply to AAHP for these grants, which are made possible through generous donations to the Grant Program from private individuals and organizations which support these preservation efforts.
