The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation released today its 2015 list of ten Places in Peril in the state.

Sites on the list include: Ware's Folly in Augusta (Richmond County); the Dart House in Brunswick (Glynn County); Mandeville Homestead/Maple St. Mansion in Carrollton (Carroll County); East Point Historic Civic Block in East Point (Fulton County); Haistens Hospital in Griffin (Spalding County); Portal Drugstore in Portal (Bulloch County); Sandersville School in Sandersville (Washington County); Glenridge Hall in Sandy Springs (Fulton County); Hancock County Courthouse in Sparta (Hancock County); the Federal Road/Lower Creek Trading Path which stretches through 13 Georgia counties.

"This is the Trust's tenth annual Places in Peril list," said Mark C. McDonald, president and CEO of the Trust. "We hope the list will continue to bring preservation solutions to Georgia's imperiled historic resources by highlighting ten representative sites."

Places in Peril is designed to raise awareness about Georgia's significant historic, archaeological and cultural resources, including buildings, structures, districts, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes that are threatened by demolition, neglect, lack of maintenance, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy.

Through Places in Peril, the Trust will encourage owners and individuals, organizations and communities to employ proven preservation tools, financial resources and partnerships in order to reclaim, restore and revitalize historic properties that are in peril.

Sites that have been placed on previous years' lists have included: Stilesboro Academy in Bartow County, which received a $25,000 gift in 2013 to restore the exterior; Chattahoochee Park Pavilion in Gainesville, which was restored in 2013; Fort Daniel in Buford, which was purchased by Gwinnett County and leased to the Fort Daniel Foundation who is developing an educational outreach program; the Spencer House in Columbus, which received a $10,000 grant from the Historic Columbus Foundation and community support to finish restoring the exterior; and the Hill House at Andalusia in Milledgeville, which received a Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Service and a Preservation Award for Excellence in Restoration from the Trust in 2013. The Trust also gave Andalusia a $2,500 grant for restoration of the barn. Updates on these sites and others can be found at www.georgiatrust.org.
