Ignoring a sign that warned "Keep out – dangerous building," about 30 people walked into the old Globe Mills in Alkali Flat last week.
All were welcomed by waiting attendants who requested they each sign a waiver of liability releasing the hosts from responsibility in case of a mishap.
The main host was Michael F. Malinowski, the architect whose blueprints are turning the historic mill into 146 stylish rental units at 12th and C streets.
After more than two years of construction, the $40 million project is about 90 percent completed, with 115 of the units destined as affordable senior apartments and 31 as market-rate lofts.
