Statement of Significance

This extension to the London Inn was erected in 1862- 63 for Mr. Pilver. The architect was Daniel Nicholson and the contractors were Holly and McKay. Residential accommodation, meeting rooms and a livery stable were included in this two storey stucco rendered masonry structure. The Assembly Rooms form a fine adjunct to the original London Inn and together they were an important meeting place in Portland's early years. The building, designed in an Italianate palazzo style is a fine example of classical design adopted by a provincial architect.
