Statement of Significance

The two storey brick and stone warehouse at 57A Bentinck Street was constructed in 1845/46 to facilitate the Portland branch operations of the Sydney based merchants Must and Flower. The original two storey warehouse of handmade bricks and timber shingled roof was extended at an unknown date by the construction of a two storey bluestone addition of a warehouse and residence. The building is a utilitarian structure and represents one of the first building eras in the town. The historical association with Thomas Must, one of Portland's most influential residents in its formative years is important.
