Here's something fun for a Friday, from AOL News:

The century-old church has a pulpit, a pew and a bell tower. But instead of a congregation, the historic, red-brick structure has a single occupant, the homeowner.

Siamak Akhavan purchased the 20,000-square-foot building five years ago and transformed it into an unusual single-family residence. Now, he's ready to sell. He has put the former Golden Gate Lutheran Church on the market for $7.49 million.

"Some people say that it's weird and eerie, but my perspective is that this is a house of the Lord," Marcus Miller, a real estate agent representing Akhavan, told AOL News. "What better place to re-purpose and live than a house that has been blessed. One could say it's a step toward heaven."

San Francisco Catholic Archdiocese sold St Brigids, a lot  bigger church  and in a much better San Francisco neighborhood for 3 million. It's all about presentation I guess.

There is obviously an untapped market in unused old behemoths of Catholic Churches.  Just think of them as an untapped resource for funds to pay child abuse claims.
