This list has been compiled using the best information available; however the status of these buildings is continually evolving.  These buildings are potentially eligible for FEMA-funded demolition; FEMA reviewed these buildings under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and identified them as historic.  Since then, these buildings may have been renovated or demolished with other funding. Where we know the status of a building, we will post that information.
