Most 'old' office/commercial/industrial/government buildings are considered obsolete or obsolescent by 'the powers that be' nowadays.

I don't think the appraisal is always deserved (there is a degree of modishness in assuming everything needs to be in a cavernous open plan office and that all building need to be pre-wired, etc.) but whatever.

The idea is to re-use fine old buildings for habitation or other, flexible, commercial purposes, rather than tear them down or build anew needlessly. It's good conservation.
