Situated at the south end of Wakeham, at the corner by Church Ope Road. Notice the large fossil ammonite over the porch - ammonites built into walls are very typical of Portland, which has for centuries been an island of quarries. (For a closer view of the ammonite see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2420968 ). The porch - not used as the museum entrance - has a doorway on its south side, which seems odd, as a north-facing door would offer better protection from the wind off the sea.
