Preservation Ohio has announced the 2008 List of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites, the state’s official listing of historic properties in peril. This list is compiled from submitted nominations, as well as extensive research and review. Each site represents the story of a significant piece of Ohio history that faces an uncertain future.
As the first list was published in 1993, this marks the 15th Anniversary year for Ohio’s Most Endangered. This year marks the first time that properties have been retained on the list that still face an imminent threat.
Each property below will be featured on the Most Endangered website, with one page activated each day. The first page, for the Seneca County Courthouse in Tiffin, is now accessible.
