When Colin Bodell moved into a new 3,000-square-foot condo in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood in August, he was looking forward to living with its 30-foot ceilings, polished-marble floors and 20-foot-tall stained-glass windows. One thing he didn't anticipate, however, was people knocking on his front door to ask what time services were or to speak to the pastor.
当科林·博戴尔(Colin Bodell)今年8月搬入位于西雅图国会山社区(Capitol Hill)一套面积3,000平方英尺(约合279平方米)的全新共管公寓时,他期待住进的是一套天花板高30英尺(约合九米)、有着20英尺(约合六米)高的彩色玻璃窗和光面大理石地板的公寓中。但有一点是他没有预料到的,那就是常有人敲他的前门,询问礼拜开始的时间或什么时候才能和牧师对话。
'People still thought it was a church because of its exterior,' says Mr. Bodell, a 50-year-old technology executive at Amazon. 'They didn't realize it had been transformed into a home.'
50岁的博戴尔是亚马逊公司(Amazon)的一名技术高管,他说:“人们仍然认为这是一间教堂,因为它的外观没变。他们没有意识到这里已经变成了住家。
Mr. Bodell's apartment, which he bought for about $1 million, sits inside a former Christian Science Church that was converted into 12 townhouses earlier this year and renamed the Sanctuary.
博戴尔的公寓所在的建筑此前是一座基督教科学会(Christian Science)教堂。今年早些时候这座教堂被改建成了12套联排住宅,并被重新命名为“圣所(Sanctuary)。博戴尔购买这套房子花了大约100万美元。
