There is something wrong with the slideshow widget on the property listing page: http://eplacehomes.com/company/featured-listings/135-garden/ Whenever I click one of the arrows to move through the pictures of the property, it reloads the page. Edit: The code shows that the embedded slideshow object is placed within an link. You should probably fix that so that the widget is useable.
I never got in to YC, but the pictures made me feel nostalgic. (I'd visited in the fall of 2008 and seen Bill Warner speak.)
Why not rent it out as a coworking space to startups in Cambridge? You could even extend the YC model a bit and rent it out cheap in exchange for some equity
That's in addition to the fact that YC was never really a coworking program itself; one of the distinctions Graham drew between YC and "incubators" (remember those?) was that YC companies had to find their own working space.
Also: who gives away equity for office space? Don't do that.

It's hard to imagine an hour spent managing the logistics of a coworking space in Boston that isn't better spent on one of the large number of startups YC is advising already. That's in addition to the fact that YC was never really a coworking program itself; one of the distinctions Graham drew between YC and "incubators" (remember those?) was that YC companies had to find their own working space.

I was thinking more along the lines of diversifying income while keeping what is a great piece of real estate. If there is enough demand, it could even warrant hiring a part time real estate manager, so that precious time is not diverted.

Exactly. Again, diversification in to a new area.

I would personally never do it, but I was just throwing it out there as another option.
It would be a great place for startup with about 10-15 people.

Me too. The best I did was driving past it when I came out to Cambridge for the first Startup School, but it was such a unique building even from the outside that seeing it again sparked a fond memory. Nice listing.
As a complete aside, the party was fun but I didn't know anybody and I was alone. I'm a very open person, but I still had trouble getting people to talk to me. We all wore silly name tags, so I changed mine from "Matt" to "Linus Torvalds". Suddenly I was popular! Then PG saw me and said "you should probably use your real name, I think that's lame" or something like that. Ah good times :)
