The ground floor of "Denderah" was built in 1880 for Mr D White. In 1910 the upper floor was designed by architect William Beebe for George Victor Lansell, son of George Lansell. When George Victor died in 1958, the house was incorporated into Catholic College, Bendigo. It was renamed Coolock House after a property in Ireland by the same name, that was inherited by Catherine McCauly enabling her to begin her charitable work educating and finding work for the poor in Dublin. It is now on the Victorian Heritage Register.Coolock House View Street Bendigo, formerly Denderah.

Coolock House, on the corner of View and Valentine Streets in Bendigo has a rich history marked by notable ownership and varied uses. Acquired in 1908 by George Victor Lansell, son of Bendigo's famous "Quartz King" George Lansell, as a home for himself and his bride, Edith Florence Gwendoline (Gwen) Frew. The couple named the house "Denderah" after a village and temple in Egypt they visited on their honeymoon. After Sir George's death in January 1959, the property was auctioned and renamed "Coolock House." It Served as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy and as a venue for meetings. The original "Coolock House" name is also associated with a Sisters of Mercy house outside Dublin. Currently, Coolock House is used as classrooms for Catholic College students in Bendigo. The building retains elegant historical features such as hand-carved mahogany fireplaces, leadlight and stained glass windows, wrought ironwork, and a sweeping mahogany staircase. A notable anecdote is that Lady Lansell would watch guests arrive from a small bay window at the top of the staircase. Coolock House remains a significant heritage building, blending its storied past with ongoing educational use. 1959 AUCTION The auction catalog (24 pages) and sale notice for the estate of the late Sir George Lansell, held at his residence "Denderah" in Bendigo on April 7th and 8th, 1959.

Art Nouveau began in the 1880s as a reaction to classical, academic art. Itfeatures organic, especially floral motifs, highly stylized forms, and flowing curves. Artists aimed to integrate art into everyday life, influencing everything from architecture to furniture. Most outstanding examples are found in Riga (Latvia) and Brussels (Belgium), with Brussels townhouses recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites for their architectural brilliance and historical importance. Local Examples are the Former Royal Bank Building (View Point): Built in 1908, designed by Beebe and Garin, now a restaurant. It survived the 1893 financial crash and stands out for its Art Nouveau influences. Denderah (now Cooloch House): Purchased and redecorated in 1910 by George Victor Lansell, featuring distinctive windows, colored glass, carved woodwork, and plaster ceilings. 159 Forest and Verona Street (Verona): Built in 1909 for Lawrence J. Murphy, notable for its cast-iron balustrade and curved woodwork, breaking traditional architectural lines.Contrast with Other StylesBendigo is known for its 19th-century classical buildings, but also features later styles like Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

This document highlights the upcoming auction of a historic Lansell family sofa set at Valentines Antique Gallery in Bendigo. The set, consisting of a two-by-two seater settee and armchair, was previously owned by the prominent Lansell family of Bendigo. The furniture was imported from England and likely featured in George W. Lansell's drawing room in the early 20th century. There is speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Wales may have used the set during their visit to Bendigo, when they stayed at the Lansell residence, Denderah (now Cooloch House). The set is described as being in remarkable condition, with luxurious fabric, tassels, and ornate piping. Such elaborate pieces would have been very expensive and rare in their time. The auction is scheduled for Friday at 6 pm at Valentines Antique Gallery. The gallery hopes the set will attract significant attention and possibly remain within the Bendigo community.Fortuna Article - "The end of an era - "Lansell Treasure for sale" - The Bendigo Advertiser Sept 27 2001 This item contains the following: 11217.29a Colour photo of Lorainne Isaacs of Valentines, Furniture and Auctions, enjoying the luxurious set of the lounge chairs and sofa. 11217.29b Part of page - Article "Lansell Treasure for sale"non-fictionbendigo, fortuna, george lansell, lorraine isaacs, vlentines auctions and furniture, dendarah house, cooloch house
