IOWA'S MOST ENDANGERED PROPERTIES LIST
We have submitted a nomination for the
Mini-Wakan Shelter House to be placed on the "Iowa's Most
Endangered Properties" list for 2010. Iowa's Most Endangered
Properties is a program begun in 1995 to show Iowans the special
buildings and historic sites that are slowly and gradually
slipping away from us. Each year a call is placed for
nominations through the IHPA membership, Main Street
communities, and historic preservation commissions across the
state. A panel of judges considers four criteria in choosing the
final list: geographic distribution, historic significance,
nature of the threat, and variety of building type. The program
provides an excellent resource for media coverage. The committee
will likely announce the properties to be recognized as the 2010
Most Endangered by early January.
