Statement of Significance
Historically, Julia Street comprises the oldest and most important commercial streetscape in Portland. Today it is the most intact nineteenth century streetscape surviving in the town. Wi thin the precinct are some of Portland's finest commercial buildings, both architecturally and historically, notable examples being the A.N.Z. Bank (former Union Bank), by the Architect John Barrow, the Henty Woolstores, erected in 1852 by Stephen Henty and the London Inn which dates from c. 1842. Most of the surviving buildings in the precinct contain parts that have survived since early times or in a physical way complement the streetscape generally.
