Heritage Home.
We begin with the beginning: The Old Colonial Homes. The first of these homes built in the Victoria District of the Colony of New South Wales were constructed in and around Portland (CIRCA 1840). Like a lot of other issues, this is little complicated because at that time, we had the Old Colonial Georgian Style, the Old Colonial Regency Style, plus the emergence of the Early Victorian Style.
P.S. A restoration for these styles is not so common today because these early examples were not produced in large numbers and, additionally, survival of the species was difficult, particularly given the length of time that has expired since construction.

“Maritimo.”
The above photograph is of “Maritimo” (also called Maretimo) was taken at the site in Portland. The OLD COLONIAL REGENCY STYLE building was erected in 1853.
Some say it is Georgian but based on advice, we conclude that it can safely be classified as OLD COLONIAL REGENCY STYLE.
