It could work for embassy space, but has to be rezoned. It will either go to a speculator or another enterprising innkeeper. I hope the later as I would hate to have such a vibrant neighborhood anchor close its doors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-5969729374220382982011-10-11T13:06:21.014-04:002011-10-11T13:06:21.014-04:00the building was purchased in 1996 for around $900...the building was purchased in 1996 for around $900,000. 2003 was simply change of names on the deed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-31051508708534195132011-10-07T09:29:59.844-04:002011-10-07T09:29:59.844-04:00Yes, there is something fishy about that $329,000 ...Yes, there is something fishy about that $329,000 price in 2003.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-68933928571007138332011-10-06T21:37:53.761-04:002011-10-06T21:37:53.761-04:00Looks like its fate will be conversion to condos.Looks like its fate will be conversion to condos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-4928717086406624662011-10-06T18:06:31.809-04:002011-10-06T18:06:31.809-04:00This place was worth A LOT more than $329K in 2003...This place was worth A LOT more than $329K in 2003. Something strange is going on here. I dont understand why its going to auction when they could just sell it for something way higher than $329K if that is really what they paid for it. I see that it was on the market for $2M in 1997 but didn't sell.
