Endangered Places
With so many historic buildings in Dallas facing uncertain futures, Preservation Dallas created the Most Endangered Historic Places list to draw attention to significant sites at risk of being lost forever. This evolving list acknowledges the many properties that shape our neighborhoods and reflect the lives of community leaders, pivotal historical events, notable architects and builders, and the families who have called Dallas home. It also underscores the importance of the city’s diverse architectural styles and building types—from residential to commercial to civic structures—that are rapidly disappearing. These places are vital to the rich, varied history of our city and remain irreplaceable community assets that tell the ongoing story of Dallas and its development.
Do you know of a historic place in Dallas that’s at risk of being lost? Preservation Dallas invites you to share sites that matter to you, your neighborhood, and our city’s story. Your nomination helps us spotlight threatened historic places and advocate for their protection before it’s too late.

Embrace Dallas
This public/private partnership with the City of Dallas will map not only our important architectural resources, but also identify the public spaces, monuments, and locations of significant events and people that have shaped us into a vibrant, thriving city. It’s made for everyone — from public officials to businesses leaders, private organizations and regular citizens — so that we can learn about the fabric of our city in a way we never have before. Doing so will shape development decisions, city regulations, and even our own understanding of what it means to be a Dallasite.
