Corner Cumberland and Clyde Streets, opposite the church – former Catholic Presbytery

The Presbytery was built in 1920 to house the priests of the new Linton-based Parish when the administration of the parish shifted from Smythesdale to Linton. The land was sold to the Church by the Barry family. The last priest to live here retired to Ballarat in 2013.

Cross diagonally to the intersection of Clyde and Adair Streets.
