JFK’s Pan Am Terminal on Endangered List
New York’s old Pan Am Terminal at Kennedy Airport on Wednesday joined a list of the nation’s 11 most endangered historic places, along with Houston’s Astrodome, Montana’s one-room schoolhouses and eight other sites.
The Astrodome was the world’s first domed, air-conditioned stadium and was once called the “eighth wonder of the world.” Now it needs a plan for reuse to avoid demolition.
