Like cars, there are buildings that demand your attention. A special car drives past you and you spin your head around and say, “what was that?” Some buildings can have the same effect in reverse. You drive by but continue to look, your eyes stay locked on the building. Similar to a limited production or coachbuilt car, these buildings are rare. Many times as real estate values rise, these buildings disappear. Sometimes overnight. More rare is when a building’s design is somehow tied to its function. I began to look for these “one-offs” and found one right in my own backyard.
