Built: 1855
Status: Flunking
The Colt Factory Building sits on the side of I-91 with its onion shaped blue dome. Its in the process of being redeveloped but due to the economy, investors have had problem keeping up with the restoration and upkeep of existing apartments. The developer is also having trouble attracting retailers into the building, originally there were plans for a coffee shop to open in the building. The apartments come in 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and lofts. The developer's goal is to link residents to downtown's Adriaen's Landing and Front Street plus the option to use various nearby highways for travel.
Heres a few pictures of the interior:
Other problems with the building is the possibility that it is haunted. Reports of paranormal activity have been reported by tenants. Sounds of a large boulder falling on the floor above and rolling have been heard by tenants on every floor, including the top floor. Also, apparitions have been reported wearing workers clothes from the 1800s with footsteps being heard in empty rooms.
This place might be a great place to live eventually, but right now the development is failing.
