Statement of Significance

Residence, 6 Georgiana Street is a good example of a workers cottage of the late Victorian period. Individually, and together with the identical residence at No 4 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 face brick front walls detailed in Flemish bond have been painted.
The adjacent residence at No 4 Georgiana Street is identical to No.6.

History

A.J. Stewart owned this land 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.4 Georgiana Street at the same time.
