I lived in a church converted to condos in South Boston for a few years. The Catholic Church sold the property to developers to pay for an $85 million sex abuse settlement. When Boston had that one winter where we got 2 feet of snow every other day for a month and a half the ice dams were so bad it basically rained inside every unit for the entire month of February. We all lost everything. It turns out a 100+ year old building with a steeply pitched slate roof is almost impossible to repair in the dead of winter on short notice.
Buildings like this seem interesting and like they have character but I would never live in a converted church again.
