Bishopscourt

Kim Hanna

2015

Bishopscourt, which has served as the residence of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney since 1911, is one of the finest houses in Darling Point, and one of the best Gothic picturesque houses in Australia.

Patricia Jacobsen

Mona at Darling Point was built as a regency villa in 1841. It has been converted to an apartment building. Greenoaks, built from 1846 and developed into a gothic revival mansion in the 1860s, was renamed Bishopscourt after it was purchased by the Anglican Church in 1910.
