America's most endangered historic places: Cedar Key, Hotel Casa Blanca, May Hicks, more
- The National Trust announced its 2025 list of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places across the United States, highlighting sites at risk from various threats.
- This annual list, running since 1988, aims to raise awareness and preserve sites threatened by natural disasters, neglect, and insufficient funding, with some uncertainty about past government building sales.
- Endangered sites include Florida's Cedar Key, damaged by Hurricane Helene in 2024, North Carolina's river corridors, Michigan's vacant Hotel Casa Blanca, Arizona's May Hicks Curtis House needing relocation, and Phoenix's unoccupied Mystery Castle.
- Carol Quillen, CEO of the National Trust, emphasized that 'compelling, meaningful historic sites are at risk,' noting the Mystery Castle was built without formal plans or permits and should have its story preserved.
- Communities and coalitions are mobilizing to raise funds, rehabilitate landmarks, and develop preservation-sensitive plans that support cultural heritage and economic revitalization amid ongoing environmental and development pressures.
