SJ(C?) for sale

Century 21 has listed nearly all SJ(C?) residences. Finally a solution to the affordable housing crisis. Except for the staff and faculty living there now.

It should be as it is in the best shape of any of the SJ houses. Most are in need of lots and lots of work. Buyer beware!

CJ - What affordable housing? Tiny little houses on little lots for lots of money, who can afford those? Your payments would be at least $1500 a month plus taxes & PMI. That is not including any must do maintainence fixes that I am sure they all need.

I love the way the folks at Century 21 don't even have the right photos with the right listing. Anonymous is very right all the buildings need lots of work. The 6 buildings they have listed at 1.75 million have or had sewage leaking in the walls. One is ready to fall off its foundation and I heard one of the others had extensive damage from frozen pipes this winter. 2 are not in compliance with city orders to make repairs. All have failing roof that are way past needing replaced. In fact one roof is better than 50% rotted.

let's see yip another million should just about get them in shape.

In April, 2004, a benefactor gave a grant that paid for all SJC applicants to come visit the campus. I was one of those, and we all loved the place. Now I teach science at Saint Leo University in Florida, and have strong ties with the Benedictine Monastery at Saint Leo Abbey. I keep telling the monks here about Sheldon Jackson College and the fact that Alaska has no monasteries. I also taught in the villages in Alaska, and know for a fact that many young people would join a monastery at SJC. We could fashion it like Saint Leo's in Florida, and make a friendship bridge where students/novices could visit/ take classes at either campus. Saint Leo University has many campus centers throughout the world: Let's make SJC/SLU another one.

Wow! What a great idea. I would love to see the campus owned and developed by Christians who would care for it and use it for education of Alaska Natives and others. Please keep working on this idea. Henrietta
