WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Trust for Historic Preservation has put the Grand Canyon, Miami's Little Havana and a former gay nightclub in West Hollywood on its annual list of America's 11 most endangered historic places.
The list, made public late Tuesday night, seeks to bring attention to U.S. sites of architectural, cultural and natural heritage that the National Trust deems at risk due to neglect, development or an uncertain future. The list has been published annually for 28 years.
Here's what's on the trust's 2015 list:
—A.G. Gaston Motel, Birmingham, Alabama, now vacant, which served as a "war room" for civil rights leaders.
—Carrollton Courthouse, New Orleans, now vacant, one of the area's "most significant landmarks outside of the French Quarter," according to the trust.
