Restored historic Delray car dealership wins award - Sun Sentinel

Click title for link to an article about an award-winning adaptive reuse of a former Chevrolet dealership into a modern office building. The building had been vacant for decades in Delray Beach. This is a bit from the article:
The historic site of downtown Delray Beach's first Chevrolet car dealership is open for business again, but it isn't selling cars.
After sitting vacant for decades, the historic building is now home to several businesses thanks to a 2013 revamping by local developer Caster Developers and local architect Rich Jones.
Delray residents Cary and Rick Caster knew the abandoned, boarded-up property at 290 Southeast Sixth Ave. would be a good place for their offices.
"There's really nothing quite like it in Delray," Rick Caster said. "The look and the life of the space are really unique."
The building is now the headquarters of Cary Caster's aromatherapy company 21 Drops, as well as Caster Developers, which is run by Rick Caster, and several other tenants.
