Residence, 59 Brunswick Street is an example of the late Victorian Georgian period demonstrating the settlement on the outskirts of York town that makes a contribution the historic townscape. Historically significant for the associations with John Dinsdale, and possible site of the town well.
The single storey face stone residence has a hipped roof. The front is symmetrical with the front door flanked by single double-hung sash windows. The rendered front wall has contrasting rendered reveals to the doors and windows. The front veranda has a separate skillion roof supported by square timber posts and spaced vertical timbered balustrade.
Rate books start at 1894, they record that John Dinsdale owned the property until 1899. His brother William owned the property behind in Maud Street. The Sargents of the Pharmacy in Avon Terrace lived here for awhile. It is also claimed that the town well may have been on this property with a laneway through to Maud Street, and cows used to be walked through to the town well.
