MyHometownOhio and Preservation Ohio have launched our new “Endangered Watch List” – a place for coverage of historic resources across the state that are the focus of attention and discussion.

Decisions made concerning historic buildings and sites are made each day, by individuals, corporations, and governments. These situations are often complex and can include a weighing of many different types of interests. In the interim between publication of the List of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites, the Endangered Watch List provides a place to read about some of those stories. An attempt will be made to update each listed property with the latest news coverage available, and visitors to the site are also able to upload photographs and to make comments concerning a particular situation.

When a given site is placed on the Watch List, the column to the right on the main page of MyHometownOhio will be automatically updated.

As Ohioans discuss the future of the past, the Endangered Watch List is a place to listen in to the conversation.
