on this years list, with the Astoria Marine Construction Company and the Tillamook Air Museum.\u00a0 The Astoria Marine Construction Company is still a working boat yard and an integral part of the Astoria&#8217;s economy and lore.\u00a0 The Tillamook Air Museums is one of the largest wood structures in the world and was built to house blimps during World War II.\u00a0 It now houses the Air Museum (which has a photo that shows a plane flying though the hangar from one open door to the next!).\u00a0 I am especially pleased that these are utilitarian structures and speak to the importance of these types of buildings in our architectural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Being listed on the Oregon&#8217;s Most Endangered List means that they get help from HPLO to help save the buildings and get public attention that these architectural and historic treasures deserve.<\/p>\n<p>The complete list of Oregon\u2019s Most Endangered Places for 2013 includes:<br
