AIR TIMES:

Adaptive Re-use (American Cement Building, Chocolate Factory) (108L)
Recycle, reuse and adapt is the theme at a 1960s office building in downtown Los Angeles converted to expansive lofts — and at the apartment building that was once a factory in Newark, N.J.

Also, a metal and leather picnic table suitable for indoors and a 1920s couch fit for the modern world.
