    HISTORIC U.S. PLACES AT RISK

    Throughout the United States, important examples of architectural, cultural, and natural heritage are at risk of destruction or irreparable damage. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named its 2008 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places as part of a campaign to save these landmarks. One such place is the Michigan Avenue Streetwall in Chicago, Illinois. The historic character of this 12-block stretch of buildings, which includes work by Daniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan, is now being threatened by the addition of large-scale towers. Next week we'll look at this and the other listed sites, which include California's State Park System, Charity Hospital in New Orleans, and New York City's Lower East Side.
