APC announces its 2005 Most Endangered Historic Places list
In conjunction with Historic Preservation Month in May, the Atlanta Preservation Center (APC) has announced its 2005 list of Atlanta's Most Endangered Historic Places. Featuring 17 historic sites, the list identifies places with architectural, historical and cultural significance that are threatened by the wrecking ball, bulldozers, neglect, and deferred maintenance.
"Two of the city's most important Civil Rights sites are still in jeopardy Auburn Avenue in the Martin Luther King Jr. Landmark District and Paschal's Restaurant and Motel so we have put them on our 2005 Most Endangered List to keep them in the spotlight," said Boyd Coons, APC's executive director.
"We have also placed a bridge and a garden on our Most Endangered List for the first time. It is important to think beyond the usual historic buildings and include all kinds of structures and places that make up the fabric of the city."
