Statement of Significance

The Gardeners Cottage, Botanic Gardens, Portland, was erected in 1858, probably to designs by A.M. Ross, the Municipal Surveyor at the time. The single storey stone structure is picturesquely conceived with casement windows, rusticated stone quoins and massive chimneys. The picturesque style of the buildings, so appropriate to its setting is unusual in Portland where all of the early structures are classical in their stylistic derivation. The building forms an important feature of the town.
