-huge open rooms
-exposed beams/ducts
-old exteriors
-modern interiors
-tons of texture steel, brick, concrete, etc
-roof top access for sun deck

i've seen way better but here is an example, i love that firehouse above by the way... that is perfect
I started driving around downtown atlanta when i was 18, for hours and hours until 3 or 4am...back when gas was like $0.99 a gallon ...just wandering around looking for old buildings, factories, railroad depot's etc. Been obsessed with owning one since but settled for a house w/ shop after not finding anything i liked under a few $100k.

Almost bought a 4k square foot building in Conyers though (full kitchen and bathroom, several offices that could be converted to living area then had a 2,500-3k sq. foot air conditioned shop area) . Only $80k but was working in Suwanee at the time and that commute would have sucked goat balls. Would have made a killer spot for parties, no houses around to disturb, loading dock and parking area out back, etc. oh well...on day.


Few random pics i just came across...
