Palmer warehouse named to endangered properties list, again

ANCHORAGE — Colony Project Warehouse in Palmer is on the 2012 list of the state’s most endangered historic properties, as determined by the Alaska Association for Historic Preservation. The warehouse also made the list in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

The group has released the annual Ten Most Endangered Historic Properties list since 1991 to bring public awareness to Alaska’s threatened historic properties. Other properties on this year’s list include Pioneers of Alaska Igloo No. 19 in Cordova; Chief Son-i-Hat Whale House (Neyúwens) in Kasaan; Saxman Schoolhouse; McCarthy General Store; Ketchikan General Hospital; historic roadhouses statewide; Berg-Brown Cabin in Anchorage; Ladd Field at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks; and coastal archaeological sites statewide.

The Ten Most Endangered Grant Program funds hands-on preservation work on endangered properties and serves as seed money to leverage funding from other sources.
