Former factory, now four homes

I was told about this former factory building by a real estate broker friend; she said something about a camera factory, but I’m not so sure about that. I have no information on the age, but the windows on the left side and the chimneys are reminiscent of some kind of industrial-use building. There is one more home on the right end that wasn’t visible from this perspective.

They must have some creative remodelers there! The change in these buildings is fantastic! Super shot!

Really interesting conversion... but I note the bars on the windows and doors (?). Excellent shot. V

These look like nice homes in which to live! Great capture Helen! V

Hard to imagine these fine little houses were once a factory! Well shown.

Looks like they did a nice job redoing this building. I, too, wonder about the bars on doors and windows....V

That is awesome! I’m glad it wasn’t left to rot away. V

IMHO this building has converted very nicely - I'd be qhappy

The image is technically noteworthy, though the re-purposed industrial site does not look to be a comfortable place to call home, IMHO. V

I'm sure they can be lovely inside and quite a contrast to the industrial past

Well, I didn't notice the bars at first, until I read the other comment. I like that they've repurposed this old place. V

Why all the bars, is it going to be in a area where there's a lot of crime
