No, it's not the structure you and Greg lived and loved in but, being a similar structure on the same site, I can understand how it affects you the way it does. Part of it is probably its being in the same space, on the same site, and that brings back memories and emotions. Which, as maverick_weirdo has insightfully noted, have nothing to do with reason.
Something similar afflicted Lois after her mother died in 2000. Lois put much of her mother's possessions in a self-storage unit. An environmentally controlled unit. Because she couldn't bear the thought of her mother suffering from heat or cold. Not her mother's possessions, but her mother. After a couple of years, her grieving abated enough for her to recognize the difference and I moved the possessions to a regular storage unit.
It's easy for emotions to run roughshod over us humans. Happens all the time. I think you made a wise decision, and I wish you the fortitude to make it through the closing and start feeling at least this burden lift from your shoulders.
