On Thursday, May 5th at 12:00 p.m., PPS will hold a press conference to announce its 2011 Ten Most Endangered Properties List. The event will take place inside the circa 1926 Columbus Theatre at 270 Broadway in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence.

Each year, PPS compiles a list of the Ten Most Endangered Properties in Providence from nominations made by community members. Most buildings on the annual Lists represent notable aspects of local community life and character. The List’s purpose is to generate interest in and support for the preservation of these significant structures; to educate the public about the benefits of historic preservation and the unique architectural resources in our city; and to foster creative collaboration among property owners, developers and other interested parties to bring about positive changes in each property.

The press conference will be open to the public and all are welcome. Please respond to Kathleen Philp at (401) 831-7440 or kphilp@ppsri.org.
