2025 MACON’S FADING FIVE LIST REVEALED NOV. 13
Historic Macon is announcing its new entry to the 2025 Macon’s Fading Five list on Thursday, Nov. 13.
The preservation nonprofit will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. at the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce office, 338 Poplar St. Historic Macon will also announce which of the current sites on the list will be rotating off.
In 2015, Historic Macon began calling attention to endangered, significant sites across Macon-Bibb County through its Fading Five program. In 2014, the community lost two historic structures, Tremont Temple Baptist Church and the former Charles H. Douglass home, to commercial development, prompting the initiative.
Historic Macon sifts through nominations each year to craft its Fading Five list. 2025 marks the 11th year of the program, which targets historic sites across Macon-Bibb County that could be lost, especially due to neglect or insensitive development.
A new list is announced annually, with updates for each site. A property remains on the list until the Fading Five jury, composed of Historic Macon members and community representatives, determines that it has been appropriately preserved or is no longer under threat.
Our mission is to revitalize communities by preserving architecture and sharing history.
One of the benefits of your property residing in a National Register Historic District is preservation incentives. Historic tax credits allow citizens to undertake rehabilitation projects at a reasonable cost and Historic Macon is here to walk you through that process.
A key part of Historic Macon's mission is education. We tell the stories of people who make a difference in our preservation community, as well as those pioneering visionaries whose shoulders we stand on today. Read more about them HERE.
