Located in Praça D. Pedro V, nº 24 to 26, this house was built in the XVIII century. Its façade is fully lined with stone with two floors and four bay windows. The yards and shoulders are worked, but the cimalhas are rectilínes. It was solar of the Torres family, relatives of Mouzinho da Silveira.
This house was built by families from Trás-os-Montes and would have served military purposes. These are the reasons that justify the fact that the plaster of the façade is entirely of stone. Even today there are families in Castelo de Vide whose nicknames suggest the origin of distant places, for example, Trasmontanos or Chaves.

Situada na Praça D. Pedro V, n.ºs 24 a 26, esta casa
foi construída no século XVIII. A sua fachada é totalmente revestida a pedra
com dois pisos e quatro janelas de sacada. As vergas e ombreiras são
trabalhadas, mas as cimalhas são rectilínes. Foi solar da família Torres,
familiares de Mouzinho da Silveira.
Esta casa terá sido construída por famílias oriundas
de Trás-os-Montes e teriam servido fins militares. Estas serão as razões que
justificam o facto de o reboco da fachada ser integralmente de pedra. Ainda
hoje existem famílias em Castelo de Vide cujos apelidos sugerem a proveniência
de lugares distantes, a exemplo, os Trasmontanos ou os Chaves.
