Statement of Significance

The former Wesleyan Church, Percy Street, was erected in 1865. The architect was Daniel Nicholson and the stonemasons were C. Webber and Sons. Several Wesleyan Churches in a style and form similar to the Church at Portland were erected in Victoria throughout the nineteenth century. The Portland Church with its superb stone facade, comprising doric pilasters, semi-circular arched windows and central arch mouldings is perhaps the finest example of this type in Victoria.
