Statement of Significance
Coolock (formerly Dendirah) has developed from a substantial single storey house built around 1880 by Mr D White. It was sold later in the century to George Lansell Senior.
Coolockis one of the finest residential examples in Victoria to be designed in the Art Nouveau style. A substantial portion of the building dates from 1880; however the Art Nouveau additions dating from circa 1908 substantially transformed the building and include the superb entrance porch with its keyhole windows exhibiting fine leadlight work, the adjacent staircase and bay windows and the dominating mansard roof with its dormer windows. The Architect for these renovations was Mr Beebe . There are also several distinctive internal features including the staircase, fireplaces, decorated ceilings and light fittings. The front fence and the design of the existing verandahs are significant.
The historical associations of the home with the Lansell family and the visit to Bendigo in 1927 of the Duke and Duchess of York are also important.
It appears that in recent years some alterations have taken place to the building and these include the partial filling-in of verandahs and the replacement of the original first floor dormer windows with modern equavalents. The house, however, is bascially intact.
