Yesterday's Structures: Today's Homes

56 innovative adaptations of old, abandoned structures into modern family homes, apartments, and condominiums are displayed in more than 290 images and plans. Among the structures restored to use are churches, schools, factories, barns, a light house, a giant gas tank, and even a missile silo. This fascinating text is divided between structures retrofitted for single family living and larger buildings adapted to multi-family use. The projects also range from commercial enterprises quickly completed to personal labors of love that have taken some twenty-five years of work.
