Preservation Texas is out with its annual list of the state's Most Endangered Historic Places, and a number of Houston area places are included. You won't be surprised at any of the names on the list.

Here's a link to the story on the Preservation Texas website: http://www.preservationtexas.org/endangered/2007.htm

Harris County has five buildings on the annual list of endangered historic places released Wednesday by Preservation Texas, a statewide nonprofit organization.

"What is going on in Houston?" asked Julianne Fletcher, the organization's executive director. Harris County includes more endangered places than any other county in Texas.

"Our selection committee tries to be as broad as we can, to get a wide range of the state," Fletcher said. "But just look at the needs in Harris County. It's amazing."

The list includes the River Oaks and Alabama theaters, the River Oaks Shopping Center, the James and Jessie West Mansion, and as part of a group of historic theaters, the Capitan Theater in Pasadena.
