Coragulac Homestead Open House – Historic 40 room Blue Stone Mansion circa 1872
Coragulac House is rarely open to the General Public, this event is an opportunity to explore this truly unique and utterly charming Home, built in grand proportions reflecting the intricate Art Nouveau characteristics, now fully restored over the last 12 years by the current owners.
Coragulac Homestead is an exceptional bluestone Homestead built in 1872 by the exceptional work of Architects Davidson and Henderson, designed in the original Victorian Italianate style bluestone mansion with florid early 20th century Art Nouveau additions being attributed to by Melbourne architect Guyon Purchas. Coragulac House is 1 of only 2 surviving properties of the once powerful and extensive Robertson pastoral empire, the 2 other original homesteads having been demolished mid last century. The elaborate interiors of high quality Art Nouveau ornamentation is a notable feature readily identifiable with the work of Guyon Purchas. Coragulac House has been sensitively maintained and is preserved intact and complete with most of the highly original Art Nouveau ornamentation. The Homestead will be open during the Australian Heritage Festival, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the beauty of this magnificent Homestead as well as enjoying historical details of previous owners.
