The Army established Fort Sheridan in 1887. Most of the existing buildings were designed by Holabird & Roche with the others being Army Quartermaster Corps standardized plans. Landscape architect, Ossian C. Simonds designed the layout of the fort. The most distinctive feature of Fort Sheridan is the water tower which anchors the main barracks building and the parade ground. It was originally 228 feet high, but was shortened in 1949 by 60 feet due to structural issues.
In 1989, Fort Sheridan landed on the first Base Realignment and Closure list and most of it closed in 1993 with a small portion remaining with the Army as a Reserve installation. The Town of Fort Sheridan was created and it's probably one of the finest examples of adaptive reuse of former military property in the country.
Fort Sheridan is on the National Register #80001379, and is also a National Historic Landmark.
Seen over the River Trent, these fine old Georgian riverside warehouses in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire are now being reused as housing. Having stood unused and empty since the late 1970s, they have been transformed into well-equiped modern flats during the last ten years or so. Redevelopment continues, but is now nearing completion. The buildings seen here are on the Town's Bridge street, and are Grade 2 listed.

My inlaws also sent us this black laquer cigarette box - which since we don't smoke has been reborn into a cool sewing box to sit in the living room. I love how I can put beads in the place where a lighter used to go.

It's pretty simple really, The ReUse Project is about finding multiple uses for things and throwing nothing away that doesn't have to be. ReUsing is kind of like Recycling, only we arent geting rid of things, we are finding new uses for them.
Here are a few examples of how you might ReUse...
Example 1:
I was walking down the street the other day when i found ________ in the trash. I decided to take ________ home and turned it into _________.
Example 2:
I had _______ sitting in my closet for the last million years and I finally did something with it.
Example 3:
I got _________ for my birthday this year, and i really didnt like it, so i cut it up and turned it into _______.
There are many ways to ReUse.
"One mans trash is another mans treasure"
The high end closet designer likes to line the drawers with ultrasuade so a box is constructed and covered with the stuff. They have to be made to measure and the tolerances are so intense that when they are installed in the drawer you have to push against the trapped air.
Then inevitably there are mistakes made. So here I have scavenged one of the drawer liners to use as a bookcase with no shelves, thus my wine box serves as a shelf. And my box of maps too. The box is also a handy purse podium. This has served to de-clutter my room of books loaned to me or currently in use that were lying around in piles. And I could also get rid of my old office chair that I put my purse on before. That was a big eyesore. Thus my room was made ready for use as a guest bedroom. Guest used the purse podium for her toiletries.
Other workers on the closet jobs have taken these boxes home, put pillows in them and used them as pet beds. I still have two more I haven't found a use for.
When a an artist paints their work on an unused, abandoned wall, the posibilities for that exact space to be seen in a different way offers new energy interactions with those who pass by in an artistic & positive way..the choice to reuse offers the space a position of usefulness within urban society & to be useful in a new and creative way is something abandoned and reusable surfaces can benefit from globally...those areas commonly seen as avioded and neglegted space take new life and offer unique soulful nourishment to the average adventurer...all it took was the inspiration & fore-thought of reuse..
No matter how big or small:
INSPIRE YOUR SPACE - INSPIRE YOURSELF...

Tate Modern reuses a former power station, and its brutal architecture and materials match the modern art it showcases. This is the former turbine hall, now used for larger works.
I don't like to waste paper, especially computer paper.
If a printed page is not used at the time, I keep it in a folder and, when I am at my art table, I use these spares to protect my table top.
When they are sufficiently covered in paint or text, I then convert them into something useable.
This page was overprinted with some stamps and then I added double sided tape to the back. I then used my die cut machine to cut out the appropriate shapes.
The resulting colourful paper seals will look good on the back of my stash of decorated envelopes.
I made these reusable shopping bags as Christmas gifts for friends using Oh, Fransson's "Paper or Plastic" pattern. Sturdy, washable, with gussets providing a square bottom when filled. Prettier and more eco-friendly than a plastic grocery bag.

I was shocked to find that the jumper cables I had collected
from various yard sales had the same amount of copper as a 12 gauge
cable. The thick rubber coating had tricked me into thinking that
these cables might be more like a #6 or #8 gauge battery cable.
Whatever...I hacked up some jumpers so that I could trickle charge and
desulfate a bunch of heavy duty batteries in parallel.
Still don't have the handles on it yet, but man, it came out nice! The bottom has a faux gusset so carrying bulky things is easier. The top has pleats, making the opening a bit smaller than the bottom of the bag, so things don't fall out!
