The house at 212 East 141st Place in Dolton, Illinois, which is the childhood home of Pope Leo XIV, has become a focal point for tourists and curiosity-seekers after the election of an American-born pope. Initially listed in the market with fluctuating prices, the house is now scheduled for auction, attracting more attention than usual. Its owner, Paweł Radzik, undertook significant renovations and is considering potential uses for the home, ranging from a shrine to a museum, reflecting its newfound cultural significance.
The modest brick ranch in Dolton where Pope Leo XIV grew up is going to auction next month, generating significant interest due to its historical connection to the new Pope.
Radzik estimates he spent about $80,000 on renovations, allowing for modern modifications to be reversed to restore the home to its midcentury appearance.
