New Hampshire Preservation Alliance to Highlight Endangered Properties

The Preservation Alliance has received nominations from all over the state for its new Seven to Save program. "The range of resources and number of nominations was much greater than we anticipated," said Jennifer Goodman, Executive Director of the Alliance. The goal of the program is to help draw public attention and resources to endangered properties and preservation issues.  It is modeled on a national program that has selected the Wentworth-by-the-Sea hotel in New Castle and the Daniel Webster Farm in Franklin.

The list will be announced at the Preservation Alliance's annual meeting on Tuesday, October 17 at 5 p.m. at the Webster Farm in Franklin. Contact us at 603-224-2281 or bt@nhpreservation.org for reservations.

The Preservation Alliance will utilize the listing to educate and advocate for the preservation of these buildings, highlighting their historical and architectural significance, while also working to stimulate local discussion and problem-solving tactics. The Seven to Save program will also bring attention to broader issues of historic preservation in the state, such as abandonment of neighborhood schools and churches, demolition of barns, and effects of sprawl, to name a few.
