Preservation Dallas recently released its annual list of the most endangered places in the city, and some places in North Dallas are on the list.
This year’s list included 10 places.
“This list is in no way exhaustive. In fact, it was particularly difficult for us to narrow down all of the at-risk structures across the city down to just 10 sites,” Preservation Dallas’ post on social media read.
Here’s the full list:
- Dallas City Hall
- Tenth Street
- Garvin Cemetery in the 4000 Block of West Northwest Highway, which consists of two burial grounds. The first was established in 1874 and is associated with the family of Civil War veteran James Garvin. The second tract, created in the early 1900s, was an African American cemtery that was established in 1894 when John Cochran, a Confederate Army veteran, donated the land to the black community for use as a burial ground, according to the city.
- Hotel St. Germain
- Cole Manor Motel
- Kovandovitch cement house
- City-owned or supported historic properties, like the Kalita Humphreys Theater at 3636 Turtle Creek Boulevard. The venue, built in 1959, is the only existing theater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
- Dallas ISD schools set to be replaced as part of the district’s bond program. For the full list, click here
- The former Dallas Morning News building downtown
- Belmont Hotel
