We've had a former church turned into a Brewery and Restaurant. And a bank nearby us has been converted into an Island's Taco Bar.

There were so many churches changed into something else. Well, my daughter's church used to be a legion hall, then a strip club. When they bought it for a church, the poles for pole dancing were still in the building. Now it's a open-style church, with a full kitchen in the basement, dining rooms, and side rooms that are used for college students to study, relax and have bible classes. Wish I had the photos, as they are quite interesting.

Growing up we had a church move into a department store in our mall. The youth loved the still-operational movie theater And my current town has an Ace Hardware in the old skating rink--I like how they kept the original wooden skate floor.

Shame that a lot of churches have closed down...

I'm surprised The Beekman wasn't on this list. An office building from the late 1800's renovated in 2016 into a hotel. It's not as drastic of a repurpose, but the atrium is amazing. https://www.thebeekman.com/

It's really cool to see old buildings re-purposed instead of being torn down.

Old Town Alexandria’s torpedo factory is an art league with studios and shops for artists.

I co-own an old church that we’ve turned in to a Circus School space.

The original post had 48 pic's.. Why not just show all 48 pics instead of 40? I understand taking a post with 100 pics down to top 50 but 48 to 40. Seems odd.

Cafe in the crypt in London :D that place was cool.

There is an old large post office building near me that is an electronics store. And in Europe many old Synogogues have been made into stores because no one is left to use them for their original purposes

It's wonderful to see the recycling of old buildings instead of tearing them down or just leaving them to rot. Kudos!
