DETROIT-Historic buildings in and around the Downtown area are among the most endangered historic buildings in the nation, says a key preservation group. The National Trust for Historic Preservation listed “the historic buildings of Downtown Detroit” on its annual listing of the nation’s 11 most endangered places. The trust noted in particular that the Statler Hilton Hotel is slated to be demolished and the Madison-Lenox hotel–on last year’s 11 Most Endangered sites list–was demolished last month.

“Detroit’s builders gave the city a legacy of great architecture, but decades of neglect have put much of that legacy at risk,” says Richard Moe, president of the National Trust. “With the right incentives for rehabilitation and a firm commitment to preservation and reuse, Detroit can strengthen the economic vitality of its downtown and give its historic buildings the spotlight they deserve.”
