Portico's Architecture

An inspired and highly original young Irish architect named John Millar designed this building in 1839. He had trained under Thomas Hopper, an eminent London architect. Portico is believed to be unique in having a double fronted reproduction of the ancient Greek Temple of Nemesis.
