“You Ain’t Fooling Anyone” — 35 Hilariously Repurposed Buildings That Clearly Used To Be Something Else
There’s a dispensary near my apartment that very obviously used to be a Pizza Hut. The roof gives it away.
My only critique is that they didn’t lean into that. They tried to hide it. The alternative could’ve been so much more fun.
In this post we explore buildings that were repurposed, but obviously used to be something else we all recognize. Some leaned into it, and some tried to hide it, but all of them made us laugh.
