Statement of Significance

Shop, 87 Avon Terrace is significant for various functions and associations with the social fabric of York. The impressive double storey building makes a significant contribution to the historic aesthetic of York’s main street and the townscape.

Physical Description

The imposing two-storey building has a full-height protruding frontage with a stepped parapet with decorative bird motifs on the end of each stepped level. It is likely an addition to the more domestic nature of the recessed double-storey section with a hipped roof and front veranda at ground and first floor levels. The protruding frontage has a symmetrical shop front at ground floor level and a single multi-paned door with vertical bar across suggesting a veranda that has since been removed and replaced with a bullnose roof over the ground floor veranda. There is an extensive covered area in the setback area of the rear section that was likely a residence.

History

The St John Ambulance York headquarters and hall were located here between c.1920 and mid-1970s.
