Crowds gathered outside St Patrick's College, Manly, early 20th Century

Main

Record numberLH010188DateEarly 20th CenturyDescriptionCrowds gathered outside the entrance to the 1889 St Patrick's College, which sits on the highest point of Eastern Hill, Manly. The College was set on sixty acres of North Head, including both water frontages, with the land granted around 1879, on the condition that it would be enclosed and never subdivided. The buildings were deigned by Sheerin and Hennessy, architects, and constructed in a Gothic Revival style, with the College a symmetrical shape, with the central tower six stories high and two wings four stories high. The college was originally for educating priests and Episcopal residents and for many years the College was the venue for Corpus Christi processions, when crowds of as many as 75,000 lined Darley Road, Manly, up to the college, with St Patrick’s celebrating its Golden Jubilee in October 1939. Around 1995, the buildings that were once St Patrick's College became part of the International College of Management, Sydney, ICMS
