Statement of Significance
The Portland Court House was erected c.1853 probably to designs by Henry Ginn, the Clerk of Works of the Port Phillip District. It is faced with axed basalt and axially planned with central courtroom chamber and flanking offices. The facade is decorated in a restrained manner by a fine doric portico and parapet entablature. This is the oldest surviving Court House in Victoria and the most significant work of pioneer Victorian architect Henry Ginn. The structure still remains in use as a Court House.
