This year's list includes a sites in Kentucky, New Jersey, Nebraska, California, Connecticut, DC, Guam, Michigan, Mississippi, Virginia and State Parks/State owned Historic Sites nationwide.
In California the list highlights the Juana Briones House in Palo Alto. This site is been threatened with demolition by the current owners for over a decade in order to develop a new dwelling. The City of Palo Alto granted a demo permit in 2007 which triggered a suit from preservationists for failing to consider alternatives resulting in the permit being rescinded. The case is now being appealed. The owners are willing to sell the property and it is hoped a preservation group will be able to raise funds for purchase and upkeep for the site.
