BISHOP'S PALACE

Built of colored, carved and engraved stone, the interior of the house is as grand as the exterior. The vast living room is furnished with rare woods, murano glass chandeliers and stained glass windows. Built between 1886 and 1892 under the direction of Nicholas Clayton, the building was inspired by French castles. Walter Gresham and his wife Josephine lived there until 1920. The house was then occupied by Bishop Byrne, and upon his death in 1950, it remained the property of the archdiocese, which has preserved it to this day.
