Bishop's Lodge Historic House, constructed in 1888, stands as a testament to innovative design tailored for Hay's harsh climate. Designed by architect John Sulman and Bishop Sydney Linton, the iron building features sawdust insulation and raised ventilation ridges to combat the searing summer heat. Surrounding the lodge is a heritage garden, renowned for its collection of rare heritage roses and historic trees. The house has served various roles, including residence for Anglican bishops and a boys' hostel, before being restored in 1988. Today, it operates as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into its rich history.
