In 1891, Dr. Carew, the Archbishop Goethals built a presbytery and it’s became the residence for the priests who looked after the faithful of Darjeeling and a Health Centre for the sick priests. Later this house was named Archbishop’s house in order to distinguish it from other protestant denominations. This was also known as the summer resident of Archbishop of Calcutta. In 1962 when Darjeeling became a Diocese, Archbishop of Calcutta handed over this beautiful house to the first bishop of Darjeeling and now it is known as Bishop’s House, Darjeeling.
