One of Kilmore’s earliest residences is currently on the market. ‘The Towers’ on Victoria Parade is believed to have been constructed around 1850. The Heritage Study lists the original landowner as Thos. Lumsden.

The most noteworthy resident of this building was Thomas Hunt, journalist, politician, and proprietor of the Kilmore Free Press.

The building is remarkably well preserved. The most remarkable feature of the building, which gives it its name, is the pair of rounded castellated towers, one at each corner of the frontage facing the street.

We can only hope that this wonderful structure finds a buyer sympathetic to its heritage and willing to maintain it as it ages towards the end of its second century.
