As part of National Historic Preservation Month in May, Preservation Dallas will announce its annual list of endangered places.
Submit your nomination to the 2008 Most Endangered Historic Properties List by completing and returning the attached form by April 30. Instructions for submissions are included on the form." - Preservation Dallas
