Looks like the Chicago Archdiocese is continuing its sale of properties in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood, now with the massive former convent property of Blessed Sacrament Parish at 3525 S. Hermitage Avenue.

This brick structure boasts 16 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and it's adjacent to a big, vacant, church-owned lot (which doesn't seem to be part of this deal). Redfin has a listing with more information .

I wonder if this will turn into a "sleeper" abode for the well-to-do (as is present in increasing spots in the neighborhood). As I understand it, Aquinas Literacy Center got its start in the basement at the convent.
