Towell House

Towell House is a large residential home at the corner of Kings Road and Knock dual carriageway in East Belfast. There are churches, shops and post offices all close by.

While the original building dates back over 50 years, a more modern extension was built 10 years ago adding accommodation for an additional 28 residents. Altogether the home caters for 84 residents.

The home is owned and managed by the Towell Building Trust, a long established voluntary organization committed to quality residential care of older persons.

In the early 1950s, the late David Towell, a London tailor, who was born in Northern Ireland, gifted a sum of money to establish a Charitable Trust with the purpose of opening a residential home.

Towell House opened its door to its first residents in 1958 and was an immediate success as it was probably the first home of its kind in the East Belfast area.
