The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation has released its 2026 list of Places in Peril in the state.
There’s only one place on this list in metro Atlanta this year: The century-old Egleston Hall on the Midtown campus of All Saints’ Episcopal Church.
The 1918 Gothic Revival building’s horseshoe-shape reflects the Akron Plan, a once-popular religious building design that allowed flexible instruction through movable partitions surrounding a central hall. “Long used for education and performance, the building now faces an uncertain future following structural impacts from nearby construction and ongoing redevelopment planning, placing this architecturally significant resource at risk,” the Trust said in its description of Egleston Hall.

Other sites on the list include: Boggs Rural Life Center in Keysville (Burke County); Civilian Conservation Corps Camp at Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge (Morgan County); Legion Pool at the University of Georgia in Athens (Clarke County); McCranie Turpentine Still in Willacoochee (Atkinson County); Orange Hall in St. Marys (Camden County); Salem Campground in Covington (Newton County); Thomas L. Bell Memorial Ballpark in Americus (Sumter County); Union Brothers and Sisters Mission Hall in Meridian (McIntosh County); and Wayne County Courthouse in Jesup (Wayne County).
“Places in Peril is about awareness and opportunity,” Trust CEO and President W. Wright Mitchell said in a statement. “This is the Trust’s twenty-first annual Places in Peril list, and we hope it will continue to bring preservation solutions to Georgia’s imperiled historic resources by highlighting ten representative sites.”
