The Archdiocese of Philadelphia sold four local properties at auction on Wednesday … including a plot in Abington.

According to a Phillyburbs.com story, the Archdiocese sold an unoccupied, 1-acre piece of property belonging to St. Hilary of Poitiers for $325,000 to a developer who will likely build a house there.

The money will go back into the St. Hilary parish.

Max Spann Real Estate and Auction Co. oversaw the sales, which also included a 49-acre piece of land in Plumstead (which sold for $2 million); and the former St. Bartholomew convent on Harbison Avenue in Philadelphia (which sold for $220,000). The archdiocese also agreed to sell land on Wismer Road in Plumstead for $850,000.
