Could a school building whisper secrets of its past? If the walls of Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar School could talk, they would tell tales spanning over a century. Right here in the Melbourne suburb of Essendon, Lowther Hall has stood as a beacon of education for girls since 1920. But its story starts much earlier. At the heart of the school lies “The Mansion,” an architectural masterpiece built in 1890. Originally home to brewer Coiler McCracken, this grand building with its Greco-Roman facade and intricate stained glass windows, has witnessed a fascinating evolution. In 1911, it was acquired by E.W. Cole, the man behind the iconic Cole’s Book Arcade. Imagine the stories those walls could tell! Now, this grand old mansion serves as the heart of Lowther Hall. Lowther Hall came to be when two smaller schools, Winstow Girls School and Blinkbonnie Ladies’ College, decided to join forces. This union resulted in a legacy of empowering young women. The school takes pride in its namesake, Henry Lowther Clarke, a former Archbishop of Melbourne. Even the school houses pay homage to this legacy, each named after former Bishops and Archbishops. Lowther Hall is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a tapestry woven with the ambition, dreams, and achievements of countless young women. Their laughter echoes through the hallways, a testament to the enduring spirit of this remarkable institution.
