IMHO, $500k to 850k for such an apartment in there when the same amount of money (or nearly) can buy a mansion/similar near one of the lakes in MP or in the Summit/Crocus Hill areas in SP (which would include the land) seems destined for trouble, and the current housing market "crisis" doesn't help the situation any. FYI, I found a SP realtor's take on it, with some more details, including about the move <A HREF="http://www.stpaulrealestateblog.com/st_paul_real_estate/historic_homes/index.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348318649247181165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-68591539297675704182007-09-23T23:19:00.000-05:002007-09-23T23:19:00.000-05:00What a magnificent old building.

Here a lovely building was saved, only to be put into a tenous situation once again. Here in Portland, in the news this week was a story about a new condo building in the Pearl District (an industrial area that's undergone extreme conversion to condos and lofts and shops, bars and restaurants--what you'd call tony, as in expensive). The building's condos could not attract enough buyers, so it's being converted to apartments. I'm thinking that can't be a bag thing.<BR/><BR/>About me, I was born in Jackson, Miss., in 1947. By the time I was three, my Daddy's job took us out in the United States. By the time he left that job seven and a half years later, we'd lived in 26 states. Once we lived for a few months in Laverne, Minnesota. Daddy built cooling towers which didn't take but maybe three months or so. We returned to Jackson in 1957; in between then and now, other than Jackson, I've lived in Kansas City (Missouri and Kansas) and Houston, Texas.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092690457095379968noreply@blogger.com
