Blue Horizon, Boyd Theatre make "endangered properties" list

The Boyd Theatre, the Legendary Blue Horizon and Engine 46 are among the structures in Philadelphia the Preservation Alliance placed on its annual Endangered Properties List.

A committee of preservation professionals compiles the list from nominations submitted by Preservation Alliance members, private citizens, community organizations and others. These nominations are taken throughout the year and a new list is revealed in December.
