Residences, 15, 17, 19 Pelham Street are relatively intact typical of the 1950’s government (State Housing Commission) housing, in the post war austerity style. They demonstrate a period of development in York.
Timber framed fibrocement houses with concrete tile roofs. Elevated on timber stumps. Hipped roof, one with protruding gable front. Covered veranda porch under the main roof. Windows sets of 3 casements to the front walls. Modest in form and accommodation. Two or three bedrooms with a “Sleepout”. Number 23 was replaced in c.2008.
State Housing Commission constructed housing in the 1950’s post World War Two boom time in new metropolitan suburbs and country towns to provide housing both rental and for purchase for predominantly the middle class, and government employees. There was a basic range of designs and these houses represent those designs.
