This Place Is Like A Jail!

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.
