Preservation Action Council Executive Director Ben Leech was putting the final touches last week on the “Endangered 8” — a new list of San Jose historic sites the nonprofit believes are most threatened — when he discovered something surprising: The Burbank theater, one of the buildings on the list, was going up for auction.

Leech sprang into action, making sure some key people knew about the broker walk-through last Friday and the Dec. 13 auction. He hopes a preservation-minded buyer will take on the building, which has a starting bid of $200,000, and says the auction — that might have gone unnoticed had he not stumbled onto it while doublechecking the theater’s address — underlines the reason for publishing the “Endangered 8.”
