Most Endangered Historic Places Announced

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named the country's most endangered historic places for 2009. The annual list has identified 211 sites over 22 years in hopes of galvanizing preservation efforts across the country to save one-of-a-kind landmarks. Of these 211 sites, only six have been lost.

So what made the cut this year?

The Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles


The Miami Marine Stadium in Key Biscayne, Miami



Dorchester Academy in Midway, Ga.



Lanai City in Hawaii



Unity Temple in Oak Park, Ill.



Ames Shovel Shops in Easton, Mass.



Memorial Bridge connecting Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, NH
