America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places

Gay Head Lighthouse


The National Trust for Historic Preservation has just released its 2013 list of the most endangered historic places in the U.S.
The sites on the list range from Houston's Astrodome to a New England lighthouse to a tiny church in Maine that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad—and all of these places are in danger of somehow being compromised or destroyed.
Many of the buildings are of great cultural value, but without changes to public policy and adequate funding, these national treasures could quickly disappear.
