Home of the Lansell boys and nannies, the nursery was a hive of activity. The Mansard attic was the playroom which once housed a fully fledged carousel

and a walk in doll’s house!

George and Edith Lansell had five boys; Leonard, George, Horace, Eric and Cyril.

Leonard Lansell was a very well respected colonel in the army and died in Toorak at the age of 75. Sir George Lansell was a businessman, liberal plitician and philanthropist. He was chairman of the Sandhurst Trustees and owned several newspapers.

Horace Lansell was a grazier in Moulamien and Serpentine and served in WW1 with distinction. Eric Lansell sadly died from leukaemia at the age

of ten years old (1891-1901).

Cyril Lansell (the youngest) was a farmer based in Corowa with an extensive land holding.

Alot of fun was to be had in between these walls.
