Sure, but unless the investor gets major tax credits, it's fantasy. Even then, many would rather buy & build elsewhere rather than follow requirements that historians & historical architect strangers would require.
Way too much $$$ to structurally re-fit the building, add modern HVAC, and create interior work spaces that people like YOU AND ME would demand these days.
So if someone is buying a place like the above, the concern needs to be that they haven't done due-diligence & understand what all the expenses and national/state/local requirements are going to be, and/or that they're just looking for something CHEAP and have no real intention of dumping $$$ into the renovating the structure.
