'apartment' or 'loft' / sometimes you just have to laugh

still getting used to the new listing system, but smiling on occasion
My new mantra is if ‘change is good’, why is transition so hard? I offer that thought as a transition to this nugget in the Corcoran data-base that caught my eye. I am still not sure what The Rules are (there must be some, right?) for classifying "lofts" in the system, but this (internal) history about a downtown condo conversion from early in this century (definitely a "loft", to my Manhattan Loft Guy eyes, due to its prior non-residential use, interior columns and relative scarcity of load-bearing walls) shows a little … ambivalence:

1/21/2004      Bldg Type: From Apartment to Loft
1/21/2004      Bldg Type: From Loft to Apartment
12/3/2003      Bldg Type: From Apartment to Loft
10/22/2003    Bldg Type: From Loft to Apartment
10/17/2003    Bldg Type: From Apartment to Loft

(grin) At least no one has tried to change it since then….
