The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation announced its annual list of 10 Places in Peril on Wednesday, including two locations in the metro Atlanta area.

Founded in 1973, the organization advocates for the preservation and revitalization of some of the state’s most diverse and sacred historic resources.

“Places in Peril is about awareness and opportunity,” said W. Wright Mitchell, president and CEO of the Trust, in the release. “This is the Trust’s twenty-first annual Places in Peril list, and we hope it will continue to bring preservation solutions to Georgia’s imperiled historic resources by highlighting ten representative sites.”
