1850 North Buckner — For Sale, By Scientologists
The Church of Scientology has this property at the corner of Buckner Boulevard and Dixie Lane on the market for $725,000. That’s for .8 acre. It is listed with Perry Jones, who is also apparently bullish on Genghis Grill. (Genghis Grill and Scientologists, now there’s a combo.) According to a 2005 article in the Dallas Morning News, the Church of Scientology purchased this property in 2000 and made all the neighbors nervous. The home was originally built in the 1940’s, was once a bed and breakfast as well as a wedding chapel — complete with ballroom with a large jacuzzi and mirror-covered poles. (!!) The Church of Scientology needed more space, spurred perhaps by Tom Cruise and other national PR, moved to a 42,000 square foot office building in Las Colinas but Jones says that is not working out. He’s scouting a better location in the Uptown, downtown Dallas area even as he sells the Buckner property.
“I’m listing it as a tear down lot,” says Jones. “Unless someone really wants to restore it.”

I hope it sells at a low low price.
No sane buyer would throw too much mone at this crazy cult.
