Residence, 19 Gawler Street

Location 19 Gawler Street PORTLAND, GLENELG SHIRE Level Included in Heritage Overlay

Statement of Significance

The single storey brick and timber structure at 19 Gawler Street dates from early times, possibly from the 1840's. The building complex appears on the 1853 map of Portland by F.W. Birmingham. It appears that the building originally operated as a shop, the doric pilaster flanking the original shop windows and the splayed entry to the building still survive on the facade. The deep grooved weatherboards to the rear outbuildings are similar to early buildings (e.g. Steam Packet Hotel). The whole building complex contains elements typical of early structures and the building is considered to be one of the earliest surviving in Portland.
