Statement of Significance
The two storey stucco rendered bluestone house "Wando Villa" at 89 Wellington Road, Portland, was constructed in 1864 for Major Alexander Davidson, a notable Scottish born pastoralist who had earlier in 1848 settled on the Wando River near Casterton. Architecturally speaking, the house is unusual in Victoria and is conceived in a style similar to gothic style villa architecture popularized by pattern books of the period 1840 - 60. The symmetrically conceived facades are delightfully ornamented with picturesque bay windows and window label mouldings
