THOMPSON HOUSE OF GRUNDY COUNTY ON 2011 MOST ENDANGERED LIST
Missouri Preservation announced its List of Most Endangered Historic Places for 2011 on Tuesday, June 7, 2011 placing the William Preston Thompson house in Grundy County fifth on the list. The slate of endangered sites was unveiled at a Missouri Preservation Press Conference, held at the Oak Grove Mausoleum St. Louis County, which itself is on the 2011 List of Most Endangered Historic Places.   The Most Endangered Historic Places, one of Missouri Preservation’s most visible programs, calls much needed attention to threatened historic resources throughout the state.  The Most Endangered Program annually highlights historic resources that are “at risk.”   Each year Missouri Preservation solicits nominations from around the State, evaluates the merits of the submissions, and announces the “Most Endangered.”  Throughout the year, Missouri Preservation provides technical assistance, advocacy, and planning support for the listed properties.
