@Jewelwing did, in fact, use a basis for depreciation and whether that was the cost basis plus improvements, the fair market value on the date of conversion, or some other figure is now a moot point since the property has already been sold.
The accumulated depreciation deductions taken on whatever figure was used as the depreciable basis will be the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain.
