Bishop's Residence

Located on Mission Hill next to Father Lacombe chapel is this beautiful building.
This building was completed in 1887. The original plan was for it to be a Hospital but the Grey Nuns decided it should be the Bishop's Residence.
I did have the opportunity to go inside this building once many years ago.
Unfortunately it is currently not open to the public

I thought the building was a bit large for a bishop’s residence, but if it was originally meant as a hospital, it makes sense. Nice building.
