Archbishop’s Residence
Prior to the Archbishop living in Laurel Court, this grand building located at 5440 Moeller Avenue in Norwood was constructed specifically for the Archbishop’s residence.

Henry Moeller became Archbishop in 1903 and he had a grand vision to build a “new cathedral, archbishops’ residence and seminary” complex. In 1907, 16 acres of land in Norwood were donated to the Archdiocese and construction on the residence started in 1908.

Completed in 1911, the architect was the firm of Samuel Hannaford & Sons.

Archbishop Moeller died in 1925 and was succeeded by Archbishop McNicholas and he lived in the residence from 1925 until 1947 when he moved to Laurel Court.

In 1981 the seminary moved to Mt. Washington and eventually the entire seminary complex is used by the Marianists as a retreat center, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. Currently the former Archbishop’s residence is divided in to apartments for the Center.
