Nominating Your Site for the PAWV Endangered
List
|
|
Each year, PAWV adds to its Endangered Properties
List, a collection of historic structures,
buildings, and sites that are threatened by
demolition and/or disuse. Such threats jeopardize
our historic and cultural built environment, in
addition to the destruction of frequently
salvageable construction materials. There are
several degrees of endangerment, including neglect,
proposed demolition, rezoning or redevelopment, and
other human and/or environmental factors.
If
you know of a historic property in your community
that fits this description, please consider
nominating it to the Endangered Properties List.
Eligible properties must be listed on or eligible to
be listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, and those eligible must complete the West
Virginia Historic Properties Inventory form through
the West Virginia State Historic Preservation
Office.
Decisions for the yearly list are
generally made in December of the preceding year by
PAWV staff and the Board of Directors. Nominations
are accepted until November 15th of the current
year, and these submissions will be considered for
the following year’s list. Additions to the
Endangered Properties List are announced at History
Day every February at the State Capitol Complex in
Charleston, where property nominators and
preservation supporters are invited to attend a
press conference and advocate with PAWV for historic
preservation.
PAWV aims to serve the
stewards of endangered properties by helping with
the identification of adaptive uses for each and
providing technical historic preservation
assistance, in addition to supporting project
efforts through publicity, advocacy, and educational
pamphlets. For questions and to submit a nomination
for a compromised historic property, please contact
Danielle LaPresta at
dlapresta@pawv.org or at 304.345.6005.
