Imagine telling an old timer from 40 Truck - they are selling the firehouse for $11 million dollars.

They would probably tell you they wouldn't take it off the city's hands for a million!

Amazing how things change - and this can be applied citywide, I'm sure.

"By the 1980s, however, the city had abandoned the building and sold it for $50,000 to a local nonprofit, which soon converted the space to a church"

That place was for sale in the 1990's for 300,000. A co-worker of mine wanted me to go in with him on it and turn it into a Jazz club. I thought he was crazy to spend 300,000 on an abandoned building with no roof that had been empty for so long. Someone flipped it about a year later for 800,000. That's when NYC housing prices skyrocketed. I think the NY Post did a story on it.

Many firehouse stories of guys who thought out of the box about purchasing vacant / abandoned buildings and lots. I have heard of one guy who is now a multi millionaire who did such by flipping the buildings. Who would of thought Brownstones in Harlem, Crown Heights and Bed Stuy would eventually go for millions. Someone did.
