2010 Most Endangered List of Historic Resources

Wherever we find historic resources - in our cities, small towns, or the back country - they create a distinct sense of place and contribute to the quality of life we enjoy throughout San Diego County. Every year, however, irreplaceable sites are lost or threatened by development, demolition or neglect.

By raising public awareness, SOHO's Most Endangered List has played an undeniable role in the preservation of these sites by bringing attention to the important buildings and places facing imminent threat in any given year.

If you follow the Most Endangered List over time, you know that the number of places on it shrinks or swells, depending on the year. Overall, the record shows that SOHO is responsible for reducing the number of major losses and increasing public awareness and preservation action to protect our heritage.

The one site from last year that is no longer on the list represents the success of SOHO's advocacy efforts. It is:

• 1857 Adobe Ranch House and stage station at Warner's Ranch
  New funding has been received along with a reestablished commitment to restore this National Historic Landmark resource.

Of the ten sites on this year's list, three are new since last year. Here is the most endangered list, starting with the three newly threatened properties:

• Villa Montezuma
• Civilian Conservation Corps Buildings
• Terrazzo at State Theatre

Seven threatened sites from 2009 that remain on the list are:

• California Theater, San Diego
• Rancho Guejito, Escondido
• Red Roost and Red Rest cottages, La Jolla
• Golden Hill Fountain Grotto, San Diego
• Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar
• Amy Strong Castle, Ramona
• Ryan Aeronautics Complex, San Diego
