Well, maybe that’s because it IS a jail — posted on the ZILLOW blog, for sale in a tiny Maine town. Which got me thinking…. what are some of the more unique uses of Real Estate you’ve seen? I’ve been to a church that was a great Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City, a hospital turned condo somewhere. How weird would it be to live in a home that was once a public space? I’m fascinated by what Trammell Crow is doing over at the old circa 1913 Parkland Hospital and cannot wait to see the finished product.
I’ve seen some spaces in Marfa, TX (yes, in the middle of nowhere, it seems) that have been converted from things like a gas station to an art gallery…!…that kind of stuff in Marfa is very fascinating and oddly appealing.
