Sherren House
Work in progress
Brownlow Interior Design have been engaged to lead an ongoing, restoration style update, of the interior decoration of Sherren House. Sherren House (formerly known as Beaulieu and Killbride), dating essentially from the 1880s, is of significance as one of a small number of surviving nineteenth century Toorak mansions which retains a number of its original features and stands in relative isolation.

The building has historical importance for its direct associations with the prominent retailer, Mars Buckley, founder of Buckley and Nunn’s, which became one of Victoria’s major drapery stores. The residence was Buckley’s home for a number of decades until his death (Criterion H.I.). These days, Sherren House is the beating heart of St Catherines School.
