A one-story building housing a Greek Orthodox church in northern Tucson is set to be put up for auction next month.
Located on a nearly 6-acre site at 1145 E. Fort Lowell Road, the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church structure was built in 1980 and measures just under 28,000 square feet.
The listing also includes a two-story, 19,600 square foot educational building. Additional features in the main building itself include meeting space and a fully functioning kitchen.
The auction, scheduled for June 1, will be handled by Fine & Company, which is based in Northbrook, Illinois.
Additional properties belonging to the church that will be a part of the auction include a nearby 4,200 square foot commercial building; an 11,200 square foot Quonset hut; a mostly vacant 2.4-acre site; and an 1,800 square foot leased building across East Navajo Road from the church.
A fire caused by a candle caused up to $1 million in damages to the building’s sanctuary in 2013. Since then, services have been held in the church hall.
