Recycled Buildings Substantially Cheaper
A national trend toward adaptive reuse of older structures is highlighted by examples in Greenwich Village, Alexandria, Kansas City and Franklin County. Caswell Company in Princeton repurposed an early 1900s school building, now producing stereo equipment with modest costs and space use. In Ottawa the Santa Fe Hospital site hosts National Sign Company with plans to remodel or move next year. The book America’s Forgotten Architecture notes labor as the main cost, with conversion often cheaper than new construction.
