[1/1] Sandilands

Statement of Significance

The townhouse "Sandilands" at 33 Percy Street was erected in the early 1850's for portland doctor William S. Sutherland. The two storey stucco rendered house is simply conceived with double fronted facade and centrally located entrance sheltered by a doric porch. The three-light windows to the main rooms on the ground and first floors are articulated by fine mouldings. "Sandilands" is an accomplished design and an important example of the early architecture of the town. The finely decorated building is unusual in Portland, standing apart from the numerous and distinctive stone buildings.
