WASHINGTON — The National Trust for Historic Preservation launched its “40 Under 40 Places” contest on Jan. 7.
Forty of the most important, most interesting, and quirkiest American places 40 years old or less have been compiled by the staff of Preservation?magazine. The by-no-means-comprehensive list includes sites both well-known and obscure, high-end and low-budget, urban and rural.
Places typically aren’t considered historic until they’ve been around for at least 50 years, so why highlight younger sites now? Because by looking at them through a preservation lens and identifying places worthy of saving before they become truly historic, we can be proactive about their futures.
Until Jan. 18, you can vote for your favorite places on the list by going to https://savingplaces.org/40-under-40-places. You can vote for multiple places, but you can’t vote for the same place twice. The contest winner will be determined by popular vote, so share with your friends before time runs out. Don’t forget to read the voting terms.
Each place on the list was built in 1978 or later, and each makes an important contribution in one of six categories: Arts, Science and Tech, Culture, History, Landscapes, and Housing. Top vote-getters will be featured in the Spring 2019 issue of Preservation.
A Los Angeles location on the list is the Go For Broke Monument in Little Tokyo, which honors more than 33,000 Japanese Americans who served in the U.S. military during World War II. It takes its name from a battle cry of the 100th Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team, “Go For Broke,” Hawaiian gambler’s slang for risking everything.
Also on the list is the Portland Japanese Garden, which opened in Portland, Ore., in 1963. In 2017 the site was significantly expanded with a new visitor center, hillside garden, bonsai terrace, and tea flower garden, all of which provide an immersive experience.
