PITTSBURGH, PA - An old elementary school and church social hall on a prime piece of Mt. Washington real estate have been sold for $1.2 million, and the future of the properties could involve an upscale brewery and restaurant.

The former Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the Mount Academy at the corner of Grandview Avenue and Bigham Street was sold to Mindful Grandview LLC, according to the Allegheny County real estate website. Mindful Grandview also has purchased the adjoining property at 133 Bigham Street, the site of Sullivan Hall, the St. Mary of the Mount church social hall. The church, a Pittsburgh landmark located two blocks from the old school on Grandview, can be seen miles away because of its location atop Mt. Washington.

According to Pennsylvania Department of State Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations, Mindful Grandview was organized by Dustin Jones and Jeffrey Sorbara. Since January 2017, the pair have owned and operated Mindful Brewing Company on Library Road in Castle Shannon. Located in a former McGinnis Sisters Grocery Store, Mindful Brewery contains a brewery, a restaurant and bar with 70 beers on tap and a bottle shop stocking more than 1,000 different beers.

Patch's attempts to reach Jones and Sorbara regarding their plans for the properties via phone, email and social media were unsuccessful. The school building sits on a 42,364 square-foot lot that is designated as commercial, according to the county real estate website. Sullivan Hall, which sits on a 2,600 square-foot lot next to the school and also would make a good site for a brewpub, also is designated commercial on the county website.

Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the Mount Academy, known simply as St. Mary for most of its decades-long history, was a K-8 school that closed in 2012. Plans to transform the building into condominiums were unveiled in 2014 but failed to materialize.

For several years, St. Mary has been planning to build a new social hall on a vacant lot across the street from the church on Grandview Avenue.
