Statement of Significance
The single storey (with attic) timber residence at 4 Percy Street was erected c.1841 by William Frost. The premises at that time were known as the "Portland Hotel" and continued in that name until the mid 1850's when they were advertised as a "Classical Mathematical and Commercial Academy". In recent times, there have been several alterations to the building including the verandah ports (c.1900), the dormer windows (c.1920) and the cement shingle roof (c.1980). The premises nevertheless remain substantially intact and can be identified readily on Birmingham's 1853 map. They are among Portland's and thez'efore Victoria's oldest buildings and are an important survival of the town's early years of development.
