Speaking of television, Jonathon Quam writes, "I am doing research for the HGTV (Home & Garden Television) shows, You Live In What?. The focus of the program is on conversion/upcycled homes (like a water tower or church that was converted into a livable space). We're currently casting in California and I was wondering if you might have any information about homes like this in your city; or if you know of any heritage firms that do this type of design work in your area? Many times, these types of homes are built inside of long standing buildings that are distinct to the area. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer."
How 'bout it folks? If you have such a home or know of someone with such a home, drop Jonathon an email and tell him you read about it here. Off the top of my head, I can think of the water tower house in Sunset Beach. Phil Brigandi also reminded me that someone has converted a citrus packing house pre-cooler (concrete ice house) in Orange into a home. Any others in Orange County?

There's a number of re purposed buildings from the SA airbase that were moved from the base and re purposed as housing. They are disappearing but some are still there. (Some people don't realize that's what they are living in.)
Would love to be able to check out the program. I wish I was staying in a historic house in Orange County! I only get to stay at the hotels when I'm around.
There is the old church, now a restaurant in Orange off the Circle, The original Restaurant closed, it's now an El Ranchito.
