SPLIA to Launch an Endangered Properties List for Long Island. Download a Form and Nominate Today!

Long Island is rich in cultural heritage. From the farming villages of the east end, to the fishing industries of the Great South Bay and the Gold Coast estates of the North Shore, ours is a deep and complex history. The material evidence of this history – our historic properties – distinguishes Long Island from all other places and contributes to an authentic sense of place. Yet every year, historic environments the length of Long Island are threatened by demolition, neglect, and the loss of integrity.



To raise awareness of these properties and to generate greater support for their protection and reuse, the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities is launching an Endangered Properties List for Long Island. If you know of an important historic property that is threatened, the Society invites you to make a nomination.



Nominations are due October 15, 2009.
