I see that the "For Sale" sign is up again on the Walnut Street Baptist Church building at the corner of Walnut and University. Unfortunately, I think it will be a hard sell as most churches are moving to the outskirts of town, which allows them to expand their parking lots to provide space for their members to park.
Unfortunately, since the building is a church, located in the heart of downtown, they will have a hard time selling it as its design makes it pretty hard to re-purpose into anything else. It it sat closer to the hospital, I would expect Memorial to buy it and pull it down for expansion purposes. As it sits now, I rather bet it gets razed in a couple of years for more downtown parking.
