I came home a bit early, right after our visit to the Mission St Armory in SF. Lots of discussion by SF Planning/Zoning folks who worked to preserve this iconic building. Originally built in 1912-14 as an "urban fortress" in response to nationwide labor unrest, it was vacated by the National Guard in 1975 and sat idle and abandoned until 2006. The new owner Peter Ackworth, wanted to leave it just as it was, the gritty reality of many of the spaces was very well suited to his internet adult entertainment business.
It was a great final note to an excellent conference! Preservation can take many paths, and most of this great building is faithful to it's heritage, a sensitive, selective restoration.

The Necklace of Lights Tour was smashing!
