School board

I live in a old school that was built in 1914. They kept some furnishing from that school, like the chalk boards, natural hard wood flors and some apartment actually had old hutches that was built in the walls. they also kept the sign saying BOYS TOILET above the door in the hall way. I love my apartment, I been living here with my daughter since she was one years old and now she is 12. I was one of the first that moved in here and I'm still the last one here since people have moved out in twelve years. I'm scared I might loose it because of financial problems. Thank you for reading this.
