The Preservation League has been helping New York State communities retain, rehabilitate, and reuse threatened sites through its Seven to Save Endangered Sites Program since 1999. Building on partnerships with groups and individuals, Seven to Save listing has been a key catalyst to the successful revival of dozens of buildings, downtowns, neighborhoods, and landscapes endangered by threats such as lack of regulatory protections, neglect, imminent demolition, and incompatible development.

This Call for Nominations will result in the listing of seven at-risk sites. Sites selected for the Seven to Save program will receive enhanced attention from the Preservation League’s experienced advocacy and technical assistance staff throughout 2025-2026.

We encourage nominations that reflect the Empire State’s diverse people and places. As New Yorkers prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, we encourage nominations of sites that reflect the state’s full history; its social, cultural, and economic diversity; and its extraordinary heritage of architecture and design, including all property and building types, from vernacular to high style.

The nomination deadline is Friday, November 1, 2024, 11:59 p.m. If you have questions, please contact Caitlin Meives.
