Statement of Significance

Although not shown in the map of portland by F.W. Birmingham (dated 1853), it seems certain that the timber cottage at 16 Glenelg Street was erected pre 1853. In its characteristics, the cottage, clad in hard split weatherboards and timber roof shingles exhibits a similar mode of construction to the Steam Packet Inn Hotel (1842) and consequently may have been pre-fabricated in Van Dieman's Land. The building with its delightful trellis porches, windows and picket-fence is of paramount importance as an example of early timber construction Victoria.
