ShareDunmore House
Dunmore House still stands as a private residence on the Paterson River near the village of Largs. The house was built on the estate of Dunmore that was granted to George Lang in 1822. On George's death in 1825, Dunmore passed to his brother Andrew.[1]
Dunmore House was initially Andrew Lang's home, and the back portion of the house was completed by 1827.[2] Andrew Lang was a brother of the well known colonial historian, politician and cleric, John Dunmore Lang.
