Endangered Sites Lists
Golden’s historic places are under the constant threat of development and deterioration or neglect. In order to bring attention to special places not currently protected by historic designation, Golden’s Historic Preservation Board (HPB) identifies the city’s most endangered landmarks and landscapes annually.
With the aid of citizens, community organizations and preservationist organizations, HPB honors Golden’s historic treasures through the annual Endangered Sites List. The list brings awareness and attention to Golden’s historic treasures, and also serves to educate the community on the value of historic preservation of Golden’s unique places.
Individuals and organizations nominate sites for two reasons: to give a site breathing room while seeking funds or other assistance in preservation, and to prompt public conversation about saving historic places in Golden.
