Endangered Historic Places

Starting in 2019, Preservation Detroit is releasing the Endangered Historic Places List to focus positive media attention and boost local efforts to protect a range of threatened or forgotten places throughout the city. Advocating for these places is a prime objective of our mission.  The success of the Endangered Places Program is based on the efforts of our members and donors, volunteers, local supporters, and organizations who actively advocate for saving Detroit’s historic places. With this list we are hoping to form partnerships and find solutions to save these significant threatened places across Detroit. Some of the places listed are already undergoing renovation efforts. Their existence on this list is to bring awareness to those efforts and showcase how threatened structures can be transformed into awe inspiring structures again while providing updates on the renovations. The list will be ever evolving and never stagnate.
