Bishop's Court

Bishop's Court was the residence of the bishop of Sydney from 1859 to 1909. The original land grant comprised 56 acres. The Bishop of Sydney, Frederick Barker, had a close association with Simeon Pearce and Randwick in its early days and was responsible for persuading the authorities to move the Bishop's residence from its proposed location at Newtown to Randwick where the residence was constructed in 1859.

By 1909 Archbishop Wright was of the opinion that Randwick was too far removed from the centre of diocesan life and the official residence was moved to Darling Point.

The property was sold to the Good Samaritan Order of Catholic Nuns and operated as a Noviate until a fire in February 1924 destroyed the building. The land was then subdivided and parcelled out.

The building was located approximately close to todays Moira Crescent, Coogee.
