Diamond in the rough? Or point of no return?
I pass this building almost every day cause it's on the same street as my work just about a block away. It's on the East side of downtown Salt Lake. My question to the owners:
How could you let such a magnificent house turn to shambles?!
(at least they have dish satellite right? ugh!)

All I know is that if I had this house... I would be in
heaven. I would LOVE to fix this house up and call it mine. Just look at all the awesome windows and architecture! Obviously it would take more than a few (
thousand) dollars at this point and judging from the disarray of the outside of the mansion it's probably even WORSE on the inside. I don't think I'll
ever let myself get over it.

Here is my office a block away. Granted this picture was taken in the summer so the outdoors looks pretty nice, the building is basically in pristine condition and I found a brochure for it... worth about 1.5 mill. I wonder how much the other one is worth... i shudder to think.

It kills me to see such awesome amazing places/items in the hands of people who trash them. Let someone who will take care of and appreciate the beautiful house have it and you go move into a dirty little shack where you belong...
that is what I want to say to the owners of the house. I can be dramatic.

I love old houses. Jayson and my first house was a cute little old farmhouse. We fixed it up and sold it, and I cried.
PS - I would love to come do a party about food storag for your family sometime:)
That house stresses me! Ive passed this place so many times and wonder the same things. It would prob could be worth a ton of money if they renovated it!
Hey Miken! I just found this blog link from fb. I, too, love old houses. I always ask Chad if we can build an "old house." I think he thinks I am crazy. My favorite, though, is down here in Provo on Center Street and (I think) 400 East. It's huge, but currently student housing. You'll have to check it out next time you're down here.
