55 PERCY STREET PORTLAND

Lot 1 55, Portland played an important role as businesses, a logistics hub for the commercial precinct of downtown Portland, with these sites active from the mid-1800s until at least the 1930s. The physical remains of structures and associated artefacts have the potential to provide important information on the technological and cultural development of Portland. 

The partial subsurface remains of a commercial wooden structure, likely built during the latter half of the 1800s may be present across 55 Percy Street, Portland. In association with this structure are potentially a range of discarded historic artefacts associated with the operations of this structure. This place has the potential to provide evidence on the early structures, material culture and the technological development of Portland from the 1800s until at least the mid-20th century.
