- Notes
- In 1857 Thomas Dumble built this Gothic Villa on the corner of George and Havelock Street. He was originally from Cornwall but he and his wife had lived in Dromore, County Down, Ireland which is why they chose this name. Their son John Henry also lived at Dromore and with Henry Covert leased the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway and helped develop its connections to the Marmora Mines. After a full life as surveyor, lawer and engineer, John died in 1903.
