Wesleyan Church Precinct

Location 57-61 Percy Street PORTLAND, GLENELG SHIRE Level Included in Heritage Overlay

Statement of Significance

This group of four buildings around a landscaped green space forms a notable precinct and makes a defined break in the consistent line of shops along Percy Street. The group is dominated by the fine Wesleyan Church (now the Uniting Church) which was erected in 1865 to designs by the Architect, Daniel Nicholson. The Church and the neighbouring stone vicarage form a western boundary to the landscaped space. The northern and southern boundaries are defined by 63 - 65 Percy Street with its attractive Dutch style gable and Campbell's Store respectively. The latter comprises an interesting complex of well preserved buildings and features a picturesque side elevation with verandahed area and vine.
