Description
Port House is a house that has been converted into offices, dating from the early 19th century. It features a red and brown brick chequer pattern with a flat wooden eaves soffit beneath a shallow pitched hipped roof. There are two brick stacks located behind the ridge at the rear of the building. The structure has three storeys and a regular three-window front. The first and second floors have glazing bar sashes with rusticated voussoir stucco heads. The ground floor windows are sashes set in canted bays with cornice heads.
On the first floor, there is a central window and an entrance below that projects slightly, topped with a wide open pediment supported by end triglyph brackets. The central first-floor window is a cross window. The entrance is framed by a wide round-arched surround that includes Doric columns, which support an open roll-moulded head and a triglyph keystone. The entrance features a panelled door with reveals and a fanlight above.
