NYC skinny house here
Cool, I have always wanted to see the interior.
Now in Allentown that would cost $60k or so. Love those big blocks of casement windows.
i knew a guy who rented that place in the late 90s. he now lives in la and owns a hollywood tourist trap cemetery.
tourist trap cemetery ownership....wow
his family was into funeral homes.
On the verge of closure in the bankruptcy proceeding, Tyler and Brent Cassity of a Missouri funeral home family purchased the now 62-acre (250,000 m2) property in 1998 for $375,000. They renamed it “Hollywood Forever” and started restoring, refurbishing and adding to it,[6] investing millions in revitalizing the grounds, offering documentaries about the deceased that are to be played in perpetuity on kiosks and are posted on the Web,[7] and organizing tours to draw visitors.[4]
Since 2002, films are screened at the cemetery at a gathering called Cinespia on weekends during the summer, drawing an average of 3,000 people who come with beach chairs, blankets, and food to view the films, which are projected onto the white marble wall of one of the mausoleums.[8]
Music events are taking place in the cemetery as well. On 12 June 2009, Scottish rock band Glasvegas played a special stripped down performance.[citation needed] On 14 and 15 June 2011, The Flaming Lips played at the cemetery in a two-night gig billed "Everyone You Know Someday Will Die," a lyric from their 2002 single "Do You Realize??"[9]
[edit] Lawsuit
In 2010, Tyler Cassity was involved in a lawsuit for fraud in which members of his family, including his brother were indicted of fraud that allegedly cost funeral consumers and funeral homes up $600 million.[10] The trial is expected to begin in 2012
