Think Workshop + Home. Studio + Gallery. Contractor Headquarters. Small-Scale Manufacturing. Cooperative Space. Or simply take advantage of the building's size and history to create something entirely different. This isn't a property that needs to fit neatly into one box. Its value is in the amount of space, the variety of ways it has already been used, and the opportunity for its next owner to decide what comes next. Bring Your Tools. Bring Your Business.
