Each year, Preservation Virginia releases a list of historic places across the Commonwealth facing imminent or sustained threats. The program has a track record of success: to date only 10% of the sites listed were lost.

Balancing growth with the preservation and conservation of cultural resources is particularly challenging in 2026. This year’s list of Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Places reflects the increasing pressure of new development on historic communities and the ongoing impacts of the data center industry.

In no particular order, Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Places for 2026 are:

- Old Bennett School Complex, Prince William County
- Wiehle Town Hall, Reston
- Historic Cave Spring Community, City of Roanoke
- Wertland Street Historic District, City of Charlottesville
- Queen Miller Home, City of Staunton
- Powhatan’s Birthplace, Henrico County
- Harrisonburg Downtown Historic District, City of Harrisonburg
- Joshua Falls Transmission Corridor, Multiple Counties
- Historic Westwood Neighborhood, City of Richmond

Preservation Piedmont is pleased to support the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center in its centennial celebration of the 100th anniversary of the opening of Charlottesville’s first public high school for Black students. Preservation Piedmont was an early and committed supporter and advocate of preserving the historic school and planning for its adaptive use into the thriving multi-use community center that is today.

The Preservation Piedmont banner is part of the series of banners that portray historic images from the Jefferson School yearbooks (1926-1951) the banners are attached to West Main Street poles extend from near the historic Inge’s Store (now Tavern and Grocery) at the east end and near the 7th St intersection at the west end. This banner is adjacent to Maya Restaurant and opposite the First Baptist Church. The banners are planned to be on display through much of 2026.
