HERITAGE LONDON FOUNDATION

BUILDINGS ON THE BRINK

To commemorate its 25 th anniversary, Heritage London Foundation initiated a new program: Buildings on the Brink, an annual list of the 5 most threatened historic or heritage properties in London.   Each year, the list will be released on Heritage Day as a way of communicating the importance of these buildings to the citizens of London and to recommend ways in which these structures may be preserved.

Heritage London Foundation is an innovative non-profit corporation, founded in 1981, which advocates the preservation of significant heritage properties. Created when the wrecker's ball was rapidly destroying many of London's architectural treasures, Heritage London Foundation now provides viable contemporary uses for two beautiful city-owned properties, the Elsie Perrin Williams Estate and Grosvenor Lodge, and is open to future projects.   Today these buildings are popular sites for weddings, business conferences and private gatherings, as well as housing offices for heritage and environmental organizations.   Revenues assist the foundation to preserve, protect and promote our heritage for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Members of Heritage London Foundation also support the goals of the organization. Membership is open to anyone interested in supporting this worthy association.   For more information, contact Genet Hodder (ghodder@execulink.com) or John Manness (jmanness@rogers.com) at 645-2845.
