The National Trust for Historic Preservation has released its annual list of the most endangered sites. Included are former tenements in New York's Lower East Side and the elementary school in Topeka, Kansas that led to the Supreme Court decision Brown vs. Board of Education. Are there endangered historic sites in your town, city or state?
