Presbytery - 1888
From 1842 until 1888, the resident priest(s) of the Cathedral had lived in a
variety of unhealthy, wooden presbyteries on the Cathedral site.
On 23 April 1888, however, Bishop Luck laid the foundation stone for a new
brick presbytery on the corner of Wyndham and Hobson Streets.
Five months later, on 10 October, possession of the new building was given from
the architect and contractor, Messrs. Mahoney and Son and Mr. E.J. Matthews
respectively, to the Bishop at a total cost of £2086.
