Chicago FD X-Engine 59 - FOR SALE - Cyber - 04-13-2013

The former home of the Hollywood Ridge Runners is up for sale, zoned as a small business type of deal.  It's a Chicago landmark so HOPEFULLY it will be well-preserved...appraisal price $350,000. They are still taking bids.

 

The HRR crew moved to a bigger house about a mile away but that station lacks the charm and elegance that this one has.  If I had the money in the bank to make a cash offer, I'd LOVE to call this place "home" and do my best to preserve it.

Can somebody convert that into a residence?  Obviously I'm sure it'd take quite a bit of $ to get it up to snuff, but $350k seems surprisingly reasonable for that part of town.
