Appraisal
This handsome building stands out in the Portarlington streetscape. A modern door surround with fanlight compliments the character of this urban building. Its modest scale is enhanced by features including ruled-and-lined render and moulded stucco window architraves. The regularity of the beautifully maintained exterior makes it a notable feature on the thoroughfare.
