Residence

Statement of Significance

Residence, 4 Georgiana Street is a good example of a workers cottage of the late Victorian period. Individually, and together with the identical residence at No 6 Georgiana Street, it makes a contribution to the historic townscape of York.

Physical Description

The single storey modest scale residence has a minimal setback with a fenced front boundary and cottage garden. It presents a two-room frontage with hipped roof and a protruding unadorned gable. The recessed half front with a bullnose veranda, supported by square timber posts, aligned with front gable. The gable wall has been rendered and the face brick detailed in Flemish bond, on the remainder of the frontage has been re-mortared.
The adjacent residence at No 6 Georgiana Street is identical to No.4.

History

There is no documentary evidence for No 4 Georgiana Street but No. 6 Georgiana Street that is identical to No.4 has the following history:
A.J. Stewart owned no.6 at one time. It was raffled by the Catholic Church and won by Mary Foreman (nee Burrows). A.J. Steward was the Builder.
It is likely that he also built the identical residence at No.6 Georgiana Street at the same time, although not with Mary Foreman as the owner.
