Pope Leo's Childhood Home: A Piece of History Up for Auction

The childhood home of Pope Leo XIV, located in Dolton, Illinois, is currently up for sale. The modest three-bedroom brick house, where Robert Prevost spent his formative years before becoming Pope, is being auctioned online by Paramount Realty. The auction, which began earlier this year with an asking price of just over \$300,000, has garnered significant attention since the revelation of its papal connection. "It's going to be the most famous home on the planet," stated the real estate agent involved in the sale. The online format allows bidders worldwide to participate, with the auction closing on June 18th. This unique opportunity to own a piece of history is expected to drive up the final sale price considerably beyond the initial listing.
