The Archbishop's residence, opposite the Roman Catholic Monastery, Glen Osmond (on the northern side of Cross Road) was designed in a 'modern domestic Gothic style of architecture, rugged and picturesque' (The Archbishop's New Residence) and on the same site he designed additions for St Paul's Retreat.
It later became the first convent of the Carmelite Sisters when a community was founded in Adelaide in 1935. The Sisters left the site in 2009 to live elsewhere and the land was bought by Southern Cross Care which has built Carmelite Retirement Living. The original building is now being restored. |
