Established by the wealthy Ballerstedt family in the 1860s, it was purchased and expanded in the 1870s by George Lansell, who was to become one of Australia's wealthiest men. Fortuna villa and gardens were once occupied and cared for by the Australia Army Survey Regiments since 1942 for over thirty years. The tour guide informs us that Fortuna Villa was originally a modest two-story villa, acquired by George Lansell in 1871 along with the 180 Mine for £230,000.Lansell, known as the "Quartz King," made his fortune through deep reef gold mining in Bendigo, particularly with the New Chum Reef and other successful mines. The villa and its grounds expanded significantly as Lansell's wealth grew, incorporating architectural features inspired by his travels. The mansion is built over the New Chum Reef, with its lower floor penetrating the reef, resulting in three floors at the rear and two at the front.Notable features include the Italian water garden, tiered lakes (originally mine settling ponds), elaborate interiors (parquet floors, stained glass, marble baths), and a tunnel used for gold transport. The building underwent several phases of construction, including a reversal of its main entrance and the addition of a cupola stairwell and conservatory. Fortuna Villa hosted many notable guests, including governors and possibly the Prince of Wales.The house was lavishly furnished and decorated, reflecting Lansell's wealth and status. After Lansell's death in 1906, the villa remained in the family until 1934, then was sold and briefly used as a reception house. The property fell into disrepair before being leased by the Army in 1942 for wartime mapping and later purchased by the Commonwealth Government.It became the headquarters for the Army Survey Regiment, with parts of the building repurposed for administrative and mapping functions until the 1980s.Classification Report and Notes on the history of Fortuna from the National Trust to the Bendigo Council 20th October 2008.

George Wright likely purchased the land and house from John Melerson, demolished the original building, and constructed a new one. "Old Law" memorials can provide details on the date of transfer and purchase price. Notable alterations occurred in 1871 and 1917, inferred from £10 rate increases, though the specific improvements are speculative.Additional rate increases in 1864 and between 1921–1931 matched general valuation rises in the area. Thomas Hawkey lived at the address from at least 1866, with family events recorded there through the 1870s. His financial success later enabled him to build another house in 1882. Other owners and tenants, such as William Weeks Barker, could be further researched through probate papers for more details about the property. 55 FOREST STREET Bendigo The house was likely built around 1864 for George Vibert, as indicated by rate book records showing payments starting in 1863 and increasing in 1865, suggesting construction just before that date. The survey was conducted to support the building's classification as a heritage site and includes correspondence verifying construction dates and historical significance. The property is a six-roomed brick cottage from circa 1864.Notable features include arched door and window openings, French windows, and a timber front verandah (though the original trim is missing).The roof is constructed with massive King posts and Butt purlins, considered architecturally interesting. Most windows, woodwork, floors, and two mantlepieces are original.Structural changes have been minimal, limited to the extension and enclosure of the back verandah.3084.45c 51 Forest Street Bendigo Heritage Research Report and Certificate of Title (1993). 113 Forest Street Letter to the Bendigo Council in 1992 from the National Trust Bendigo (Apply to the Society for Details). 3084.45e This letter refers to the historical and architectural survey of the heritage-listed building at 55 Forest Street, Bendigo, prepared for the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).

... National Trust Collection: Golden City Implements Foundry, Ironbark, Bendigo......National Trust Bendigo Collection...T he foundry and machine shop are considered landmarks in Bendigo, located on Eaglehawk Road opposite the Marong turn-off.The business was deeply embedded in the local community and history, with the Osborne name still prominent in the district. history National Trust Bendigo Collection bendigo foundary iron bark bendigo National Trust Survey Data Sheet and article from the Bendigo Advertiser November 4th 1981. ...This foundry had been a landmark in Mt Korong Road for many years. It began with an Osborne and Mitchell. After 1914 when mining declined, it became the Golden City Implement boundary and the name can still be seen painted on on the façade which faces the intersection of Marong Road (Calder highway) and Eaglehawk Road. The interior is a mass of used and un-used machinery scattered amongst modern lathes and more modern apparatus. The yard was a fascinating graveyard of past times, with old mining and agricultural scrap everywhere mixed up with coke and slag from the smelting sheds at the rear. A feature of the foundry was the manufacturer of cast iron lace. This document provides a historical and contemporary overview of the Osborne family's blacksmith and metalworking business in Bendigo, highlighting its longevity, operations, and significance: The business dates back to at least 1855, originally starting as a general store before evolving into a metalworking factory. The original founders were Osborne and Mitchell; Mitchell left early on, and the business changed hands several times before being acquired by Oscar Osborne (not related to the original Osborne founder). Oscar Osborne managed the machine shop and foundry, eventually acquiring it. His sons, Charles and Walter, now run the business with Stan, a descendant of the original founder. The current operators are Charles and Walter Osborne (brothers) and Stan (a descendant of the original founder but not directly related to the brothers). The business is known for its continuity and resilience, surviving as one of the oldest in Bendigo while others have disappeared or are newcomers. The workshop covers about a third of an acre and houses a large array of machinery and tools (nearly 200 between the three operators). The Osbornes pride themselves on traditional skills and methods, many of which are being lost in modern times. They are renowned for repairing a wide range of metal items, especially for antique dealers, and for producing high-quality crowbars and decorative iron lace for both restoration and new construction. Much of their work comes from Adelaide, and they maintain a steady demand for their specialized services. T he foundry and machine shop are considered landmarks in Bendigo, located on Eaglehawk Road opposite the Marong turn-off.The business was deeply embedded in the local community and history, with the Osborne name still prominent in the district.National Trust Survey Data Sheet and article from the Bendigo Advertiser November 4th 1981.

This building was a weatherboard cottage evidently built in three stages with the front door in the central part, planked by three paned double casements, six-paned sash windows in the rear section; front section and timber veradah with scrolled vallance. The architect and builders are unknown. The outside doors to the cellar and the simple chimney breast remain a notable feature. The original owner was Conrad Heinz a former mayor of Bendigo who with two brothers opened a butcher's shop in the building in 1872. In 1883 he moved to Mt Korong Road Iron Bark, where he carried on another thriving business and built a substantial house close by. Konrad first made his way to Castlemaine where his sister was living but, after a short stay with her, moved to the Bendigo region where his brother was prospecting, and obtained work in a butcher’s shop. An interest in horses led to his enlistment in the Prince of Wales Light Horse, in which he served for ten years. In 1866, at the age of 20, he married Franzisca Inglefinger. She had arrived in Victoria from Wuertemberg on board the “John Linn” in 1857; she was Konrad’s junior by two years. Pastor Munzel celebrated the marriage in the German Lutheran Church in Bendigo. Albert Conrad, was born in the Heinz home in Webster Street. In 1872 Conrad was naturalised; this enabled him to buy a property and go into business in his own right. Konrad’s friendly and helpful disposition brought many customers to his shop from Happy Valley and Ironbark and his business prospered. When Conrad Heinz left Happy Valley Road, one brother had died, but his widow carried on the first butchering business with the help of a lad and one of her three daughters. The little shop and residence stood for over a century on the spot, almost untouched by modern progress. The shop was closed for 70 years at most. It was demolished about 1982.Data Forms on the house on Corner of Happy Valley Road and Wells Street, Long Gully, now demolished.

The four remaining stone cottages were built by the Harvey Family between the 1850s and the 1870s. They were obviously the most substantial buildings in the area at the time. Three of the cottages have been classified as a group by the National Trust and the citation describes them as follows: A group of three simple sandstone cottages built by the Harvey Family of Cornish stonemasons in about 1875. The cottages are all of a very simple design with small windows and no ornamentation. They are in good condition and inhabited at the present time. Harvey Town was established nearly 100 years ago near Eaglehawk, a thriving goldfield with a population of 20,000. A man named Harvey built several stone houses in the area, which led to the formation of a small community including a church, hotel, general store, and blacksmith's shop. The area became known as Harvey Town, but like many gold rush towns, it quickly faded away. Today, only the stone houses built by Harvey remain, standing as solid as when they were first constructed.Current RemnantsFour cottages still exist, some surrounded by stone fences, and a few are still inhabited. The presence of peppercorn trees marks where houses once stood, indicating there were once dozens of homes.Mining. During the depression, people searched for gold along Caldwell's road, often finding small amounts. Several mines operated in the area, including the Consolation mine, which was notably rich.Old-timers believe there is still gold in the area, but high labor costs prevent further mining. The Eaglehawk goldfields were founded in 1852, and the municipality was proclaimed in 1862.Numerous photo copies of stone cottages with notes on the location and history.
