No other city residence compares with the grandeur of this very special property. Constructed C.1913 for its finest owner, Mr L.V. Lansell and designed by renowned architects Beebe and Garvin. William Beebe had done earlier work at “Fortuna Villa” and with G D Garvin, at “Denderah” for the Lansell family. They were again commissioned to design a fitting house for Leonard Lansell. With the closing of the mines and the social changes wrought by the Great War, “Lansellstowe” was probably the last “mansion” built in Bendigo. Some external changes have been made, notably to the top floor, but otherwise Lansellstowe is essential intact. Of special interest internally are the fine staircases and the large bow windowed rooms. There is also a marble bath and shower similar to the one at “Fortuna Villa”.

LAND AREA: 3163m2 with approved permit for a 3 Lot Subdivision. 2 Street Frontage.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION: Built on three levels and with a cemented facade, Lansellstowe is an unusual design both within the Bendigo and State contexts. Deriving from the Italian Renaissance, the design does so in a unique manner. Parapeted Victorian-era villa designs are also unusual in Bendigo, this one having a cantilevering trabeated porch next to what appears to be a formerly open terrace. The northern wing is more typical of the era while the deeply bowed south wing has some parallels across the State (ie. Mandeville Hall). Arched openings are used freely with rectangular windows, the former type also having a flat pediment over window pairs.
