Are you losing your history and the character of your community?
Preservation New Jersey invites nominations for its 2004 List of New
Jersey's 10 Most Endangered Historic Places. In its tenth year,
Preservation New Jersey's (PNJ's) endangered list has called attention
to New Jersey's most threatened historic landmarks and neighborhoods,
aiding local efforts through increased public awareness of historic
preservation issues to assist in their preservation. Some historic
resources from Salem County that were nominated to the 10 Most
Endangered Sites list are the John Mason House (1997) in Elsinboro
Township, the Hackett Strang House (2000), Mannington Township, and
the Finlaw Building in Salem City.
The Endangered Sites Selection Committee uses the following basic
criteria for initial consideration: Architectural integrity and/or
historical significance, an identifiable threat, and likelihood that
inclusion on this list will make a positive impact on preservation
efforts of the site. To receive a nomination form, contact
Preservation New Jersey at (609) 392-6409 or visit their Web site at
http://www.preservationnj.org. The deadline for nominations is Nov.
30. Preservation New Jersey will announce its 2004 list at a press
conference in May of next year.
Preservation New Jersey was founded in 1978 to sustain and enhance
the vitality of New Jersey's communities by promoting and preserving
their diverse historic resources. It addresses its mission by
producing an annual list of New Jersey's 10 Most Endangered Historic
Sites, providing educational tours, conferences and training
workshops, publication of a quarterly newsletter, maintaining a
resource library, and addressing legislation and public policies that
impact New Jersey's historic preservation community. To see recent
Endangered Lists and for more information log onto their Web site at
