GV II
Town gate, now naval entrance way. 1778, dismantled C19 and re-erected in present position 1929 (date stone). Ashlar. Central round archway with tripartite keystone and voussoirs aligned to the courses of the rusticated ashlar surround. Flanking paired pilasters with vermiculated bands support cornice and pediment in which is lion couchant bearing flag. To either side a similar pedestrian archway with round window over. On right side of central arch is block inscribed "The lion Gateway Portsea. Built 1778. Incorporated in this building in the year 1929". The present appearance of the entrances owes much to the 1929 rebuilding. The archway was originally erected as one of the town gateways of Portsea (Lloyd).
