If the post-deco, cubist, alt-prison vibe is your thing make an offer. IMO that POC should have been razed long ago.

Best guess is some group will peel the facade a re-imagine the space as highish end multi-family. The location is off the charts.

If someone wants to do a twofer, Jimmy Ling's old estate may be on the market soon.

Tell me more about the suicide preventers... were there actual suicides or just worry about them? Or maybe to prevent issues at the wild parties that were taking place at the ”hostess” training center?

I had a secretary who was an Eastern stew in the late '60's. She told me that Wahoo McDaniel tried to use the balconies (of the highrise where she lived in Miami) to climb down to her apartment to rape her.

Hmmmmm....I'm guessing the term is born of gallows humor. That said I don't know why a building would need burglar bars on the third and fourth floors etc.

I'm sure the original thinking was something like, "there will be pretty young women here, not far from DTD, we need to keep the motivated rif-raf out."


ETA - Cornell did for sure install, "suicide nets" around whatever that bridge is on campus.

I remember one young lady jumped and killed herself, people were horrified. I was pretty young, don't remember if there were more.

Is that the same house Sam Wylie owned? Shocked that hasn't been sold yet. Maybe with that history Andy Beal will buy it. If not will probably go to Mehrdad Moayedi.
