Statement of Significance
The single storey attic house at 5 Percy Street, Portland, was apparently erected prior to 1857, possibly for the earliest recorded owner/occupier, William McPherson. Constructed of cement rendered brickwork with minimal mouldings or other adornment, this house is enhanced by two axially positioned gabled dormer windows and a cast iron decorated verandah of later date. When constructed, the residence at 5 Percy Street, Portland, was one of the most substantial in the township, being assessed at a rate well above the average. The building is an unusual attic house form with prominent gabled dormer windows and later ornamental cast iron verandah in a picturesque composition. The building has no significant historical associations but is one of the oldest surviving houses in the township of Portland.
