Residence, 17 Pool Street is a good example of a Victorian Georgian dwelling on the east side of the Avon River, and in particular Pool Street where numbers 15, 17, 19, 21, and 23 form a distinct cultural environment demonstrating early development of York, and making a significant contribution to the historical townscape of York. Historically significant as a Pensioner Guard grant.
