Cottage, 77 Palmer Street

Location 77 Palmer Street PORTLAND, GLENELG SHIRE Level Included in Heritage Overlay

Statement of Significance

The small brick cottage at 77 Palmer Street, Portland, is held to have been erected prior to 1857 for Thomas Webster. The four room cottage with a hipped, dutch gable roof is built of locally manufactured bricks laid in alternating courses of dark burnt headers and light stretchers producing a banded effect. A shed at the rear is clad with patent metal roof tiles. The brick cottage at 77 Palmer Street, Portland, is of interest largely because of the unusual banded pattern of dark and light bricks to the facade. The cottage, of undocumented age, is representative of the first building era in Portland. The shed at the rear has apparently been clad with early 1850's patent metal roof tiles (possibly by Moorwood and Rogers) salvaged from another building.
