Residence, 35 Grey Street is a representative example of a Federation Queen Anne with additions and renovations, in an elevated position in landscaped gardens, it makes a contribution to the historic townscape of York.
The residence is situated in an elevated position on the northwest corner of Grey and Pool streets overlooking Faversham House and the former Faversham barn in Pool Street. An extensive brick pillared fence with bays of vertical steel fencing extends along both street front boundaries. The single story residence addresses the corner with a broad truncated corner featuring a gable detail and bullnose veranda. The face brick construction with a hipped roof also features another gable facing Pool Street. The residence has been extended and restored it is difficult to discern the original build and detail. The tall brick chimneys with moulded corbelling and double clay pots are distinctive on the roof line.
Likely built by GA Stevens. He served as the Town Clerk from 1891. In 1906, he was arrested and tried for embezzlement of Road Board funds. Since c.2005 “Elsinore” has provided bed and breakfast accommodation.
