I'm surprised nothing was ever done with it; I would think even renting it out for studio space would be more lucrative than letting it sit vandalized?

A little more than five years ago, there was a plan to make those buildings into additional restaurants under the same ownership as Nine 05, Bliss's predecessor. The whole plan collapsed when Nine 05 went out of business, and I've yet to hear of any plans for the houses along Garfield.

As for your long photo post, it's good news that the psychiatric crisis center is moving. It diminishes the walk appeal of the area between Roosevelt per se and small businesses to the south such as Angel's Trumpet, the Velo, and Filmbar. Unfortunately, the electrical substation or whatever it is remains on the northwest corner.
