^ they approached my firm for a proposal a few years ago to do something or other in there. I think it was to catalogue the historical aspects of the building and an overall assessment. The plan at that time was to convert it to general office/congregation or non-residential use.

We didn't get the job, but it looks like they are planning to stabilize the building now.

The good thing about these buildings is that they are pretty robust. Every Exchange conversion project I have worked had buildings that started this way. Tarps and kiddie pools on the top floor to catch the water, and just general extreme neglect. But they tend to clean up pretty well - all things considered.
