Residence, 74 Macartney Street is significant as an intact representative example of a Federation bungalow of the period that makes a significant contribution to the historic townscape of York. It is significant for close association with George Inkpen, the publisher of the Eastern District Chronicle.
The single storey brick residence occupies a corner location and fronts Macartney Street. The site is fully fenced and partially obscured by gardens and mature plantings. The hipped roof is high pitched and features gablets at the end of the ridge of the symmetrical Macartney Street front. The surrounding veranda has a bullnose roof supported by timber post and decorative timber brackets. The face brickwork is evident. The tall chimneys are face brick with corbelled detailing.
It is reported that the residence was built for George Inkpen, the publisher of the Eastern District Chronicle.
