You Live in What?

An introduction to one-of-a-kind homes and their visionary owners; a historic livery in Birmingham, Ala., is now a hip live-work space for a photographer and her family; a New Orleans shipping container home shows lot size doesn't matter.

A dilapidated Sacramento, Calif., fire station is resurrected; a 150-year old castle overlooks Lowell, Mass.; a Jewish Temple becomes a residence and art studio; an off-beat Chicago museum is transformed into a boutique bed and breakfast.

A Kentucky bourbon distillery's stone walls are the centerpiece of a country home; a Civil War schoolhouse is turned into a residence; a coal company commissary is turned into an abode; shipping containers are converted into a cottage; a grist mill.

An urban oasis crafted from an ink factory; a fire station home in Northern California; a 1930s church that's been expanded into a home; a Houston artist's abode built from a commercial glass warehouse; a 200-year-old stone meeting hall in New York.

A Dutch barn transformed into a Texas dwelling; a candy factory re-purposed as an art gallery and penthouse; a church conversion in Massachusetts; a 1700s corner store turned into a residence; a shipping container home with some unique alterations.

A 200-year-old hay barn turned into a home; a church transformed into an artists' sanctuary; a unique Texas lighthouse; a gristmill in upstate New York that was a key stop in the Underground Railroad; a multi-barn homestead in Waco, Texas.
