This thesis will present information on the economic feasibility of rehabilitating an older building into office and living space. Data will show that the outlined rehabilitation project can be carried out at a lower dollar cost than new construction for a comparable amount of useable floor space.The rehabilitation project outlined in this thesis had to meet the following criteria. The current owners proposed future use of the building. All proposed modifications to the structure had to meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation to take fullest advantage of the Tax Reform Act of 1976, and local building and zoning regulations. Rehabilitation of the building must provide the owner with enough income to completely off-set the total cost of the project within a ten year period. All of the proposed work on the building would have to meet the current owner's desire to retain as much of the building's original "character" while creating contemporary work/living space. / Department of Architecture
