RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond's historic Westham train station, which was built in 1911 and is quickly deteriorating, has been added to Preservation Virginia's "Virginia's Most Endangered List" after a CBS 6 report .

The station originally sat next to the C&O tracks near the Huguenot Bridge before being moved near Parker Field, where it was used as a visitor's center. It has been empty since the 1990s.

Preservation Virginia releases its annual "Virginia's Most Endangered List" to encourage individuals, organizations, and local governments to advocate for their preservation.

“Raising awareness is a first step, but it is critical that we work together to preserve these locations before they’re gone,” said Will Glasco, Preservation Virginia CEO, in a statement announcing the list. "These places still have value and purpose as affordable housing, community centers, or by sharing the story of Virginia during the 250th anniversary of the United States. Let's not waste this opportunity."
