New Hampshire Preservation Alliance Seeks 'Seven To Save' Nominations

CONCORD, NH — Nominations are open for the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s Seven to Save until Aug. 28.

The program focuses attention and resources on significant historic properties in New Hampshire that are under-used or threatened by neglect, insufficient resources, or unsympathetic development. The announcement will be in October.

Criteria for selection include historical significance, imminence of threat, and potential impact of listing a site. Anyone can make a nomination. Nomination forms and more information are available at www.nhpreservation.org/seven-to-save. If you have questions about the program, or think a certain building would benefit from such a designation, contact Andrew Cushing at ac@nhpreservation.org or by calling the Preservation Alliance’s office at 603-224-2281.
