JOLIET, IL — If you have $799,000 to spend, then you can afford to become the next owner of the 17,000 -square-foot "specialty building" for sale at Joliet's 1451 Black Road.

"Great location for day care, private school etc.," proclaims the real estate listing on LoopNet.

The former Christian Church property can no longer be used for another church, the real estate listing handled by Coldwell Banker's Keith Conroy indicates. The two-story brick building was built in 1959. The property is directly across the street from Blackburn's Funeral Home.
