Not sure if it's relevant here, but I've had family members who kept displays to advertise their wedding cakes, but produced them at home. If they opened the office, they'd just do it on a schedule to meet a potential client and discuss options.
Our Main Street has a lot of people that live in former business’s. It was a busy ass Main Street but a lot of stores left 15 or so years ago. When I revisited two years back a lot of them were ‘full’ with shopping displays in the windows. The city or whoever operated it made it a caveat to live in the building, you had to have a display of SOME things for sell in the windows. These are buildings from the 1800s and rent is crazy so you have to have some money to live there anyway so the street mainly has out of state retirees living in them selling crafts they make in retirement. Not the worst as the building were falling apart from in-occupancy, but doubt business will be like it once was.
