Statement of Significance

The two storey brick mansion house llprospect", at 3 Prospect Court, was erected in 1855 for Thomas Must, a wealthy local merchant who established a Portland Branch of the firm Must and Flower in 1845. The architect was G. Mathewson. The structure is simply conceived with a double fronted facade with central entry. The single storey kitchen wing and stables remain. "Prospect" is an early Portland mansion house and as such is important of its association with Thomas Must. Subsequent alterations to the building have all but obliterated its original Italianate character.
