Millicent Eastwood

Millicent Eastwood, born Millicent Hill, (January 18, 1872 – March 6, 1947) was an Australian self-employed landlady and a businessperson. The apartment building that she owned was placed on the Melbourne's Heritage Places Inventory after it was bought back by her daughters.

Life Eastwood was born in Wahring, Victoria, in 1872. She was the first of nine children born to Mary (née Gallagher) and her husband Hardy Hill. She had a governess and went to the state school until she was fourteen. Her mother's last child was born about three years later in 1889. She helped her mother. Her own ambitions were fuelled by the book My Brilliant Career Eastwood, however, was inspired and she left for Melbourne. Her first work was as a dressmaker. The building is recognised as a valued part of Melbourne's heritage.
