     11 Most Endangered Places
     http://www.nationaltrust.org/11Most/
     
     Since  1988, the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places  list  has
     been  one  of  the most effective tools in the fight  to  save
     America's  irreplaceable architectural, cultural, and  natural
     heritage. The list has now brought national attention to  more
     than  140  significant  buildings, sites  and  landscapes.  At
     times,  that attention has galvanized public support to rescue
     a  treasured landmark, while in others, it has been an opening
     salvo  in  a  long battle to save an important  piece  of  our
     history.
