The Foyer
A gorgeous space for cocktail hour, under the ornate ceilings and old world charm, beside Dame Nellie Melba's piano played by the virtuoso herself.
Lansell Front Entrance (1876) & Vestibule (1895).
The first entrance was a much smaller construction just after Lansell’s return from Europe in 1876. The current main entrance vestibule was remodeled in 1895 and has been modified from time to time after that date. The replaced wartime front doors’ upper panels have c.1940s etched glass bearing the crest of the Royal Australian Survey Corps, who occupied the Fortuna site from 1942 to 1996.
