Last year the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the midcentury modernist architecture of Bay Harbor Islands’ East Island among the eleven most endangered historic sites in America—a moment which amplified the preservation movement there—and this year the distinction has passed to Little Havana. So, congratulations are in order to Little Havana and all the people who have been tirelessly working for its preservation. Little Havana has now been nationally recognized for being incredibly close to destroying its architectural and historic legacy, which is a big step towards saving it. As the National Trust says: “More than 250 sites have been on the list over its 28-year history, and in that time, only a handful of listed sites have been lost.”
