Residence

Statement of Significance

Residence, 28 Ford Street is significant as fine intact example of a Federation bungalow that demonstrates a prosperous period of development and contributes to the historic townscape of York.

Physical Description

The single storey residence is in an elevated position with a significant slope down the Alfred Street frontage where an expansive half-timber roughcast gable dominates the elevation. The bullnose veranda extends across that frontage, with a criss-cross timber balustrade, returning along the rear (also with balustrade) and across the main frontage of Ford Street, ending at the protruding gable feature on that frontage. The face brick walls have a rendered band at window-sill level. The Alfred Street frontage is symmetrical with two pairs of spaced double-hung sash windows while the Ford street frontage has a “Bachelor” double hung window on the front entry wall and return gable wall. The front entry set comprises sidelight panels and a fanlight above the door. A tall face brick chimney with rendered corbel dominates the roof line. A timber framed gabled arbour delineates the property entry on Ford Street.
