| Resembles | A UFO. From the ’70s. | A Gothic cathedral on steroids |
| Chances you could live there | Slim. The place will likely get torn down. (Plus, why would you want to?) | High (if you’ve got deep pockets). The smart money is on redevelopment as condos, hotel rooms, and shops. |
| Reuse ideas | Medical marijuana farm. It’s essentially a giant greenhouse already—some employees use umbrellas to shield their desks from the sun. | Museum of journalism. Like the Newseum in Washington, D.C., it would teach people about print journalism’s glory days. |
