8. ELLIS ISLAND HOSPITAL COMPLEX: Once the largest U.S. Public Health Service in the country. It was the "Island of Tears" for immigrants turned back.
9. HISTOPRIC POST OFFICE BUILDINGS: Especially the one in Geneva, Illinois. Some 4,400 across the country are slated for closure because of downsizing. Like the great old railroad stations, these should always be saved and repurposed.
10. JOE GRAZIER GYM: Philadelphia. Where he trained for his fight versus Muhammed Ali.
11. MALCOLM X-EVA LITTLE-COLLINS HOUSE in Boston. Built 1874 and last-known surviving boyhood home of Malcolm X which has been sitting mostly-vacant for the last thirty years.
