The Preservation League has been helping New York State communities retain, rehabilitate, and reuse threatened sites through its Seven to Save Endangered Sites Program since 1999. Building on partnerships with groups and individuals, Seven to Save listing has been a key catalyst to the successful revival of dozens of buildings, downtowns, neighborhoods, and landscapes endangered by threats such as lack of regulatory protections, neglect, imminent demolition, and incompatible development.

The League collaborates with property owners, elected officials, and other stakeholders to craft preservation strategies and put these plans into action. Through partnerships with groups and individuals, threats to dozens of at-risk buildings, landscapes, downtowns, and neighborhoods have been reduced, and in many cases, eliminated by the Preservation League’s Seven to Save listing and subsequent actions.

We draw statewide attention to New York’s most important and at-risk historic places through our Biennial Seven to Save program.
