Abstract

Dressed in wrought iron lace verandahs on all sides and both storeys, with the Rous River winding along her eastern side and the cane fields sweeping her back door, Lisnagar has become a local landmark and classified by the national Trust of Australia (NSW) as a heritage treasure.

The land bought at auction (1862) by Samual Gray and (1871) by Joshua Bray was later bought by Edward Twohill who in 1904 had Lisnagar built for his wife Ellen. Lisnagar is still owned by the Twohill family. (http://www.murwillumbahhistoricalsociety.org.au/lisnagar.htm)
