St Joseph’s Tower
The tower at Rylands of Kew forms part of the original homestead built by Henry Hedderwick around 1860. Henry was a prominent Victorian Lawyer and Mayor of Kew in 1873 to 1875. The building was later transferred to the Catholic Church and was renamed St Joseph’s Tower.
The Sisters of the Sacred Heart ran the residence as a hostel until 2002 when it was bought by the Rylands Management Group. Rylands was the brainchild of Richard Buxton who, as a tribute to his father, wanted to create Melbourne’s most exclusive retirement living community.

A Resident’s Story
There is no such thing as loneliness when living in the Rylands community.
There is no such thing as loneliness when living in the Rylands community. Ever since I moved into Rylands of Kew, I enjoy the social activities, especially the themed dinners for days like St Patricks Day or Cup Day, but it is the daily social interaction with residents and staff that most appeals to me.
At Rylands, there are plenty of opportunities to engage with the community. We have a spacious and lovely foyer where we can socialise every morning to read the newspaper and have a cuppa. There is always somebody about to chat to about interesting topics such as footy tipping or the current state of the economy.
