House 36 Suburban Road

Statement of Significance

Residence, 36 Suburban Road is an unusual example of dichromatic (reverse-tone) Flemish bond brickwork, with the darker of the contrasting colour in the stretcher rather than the header bricks, providing a very different aesthetic of significance making this example of Victorian Georgian architecture, representing development east of the Avon River, a considerable contribution to the historical townscape of York.

Physical Description

The single storey residence is a brick construction with distinctive reverse tone Flemish bond brickwork to the symmetrical front faced. It features dark brick stretchers brick, unlike the usual dichromatic brickwork that has dark brick headers. The simple hipped roof is separate from the hipped roof over the perimeter veranda that is supported by square timber posts and is enclosed on one side. The central front door is four panelled with a distinctive fanlight with geometric panes of glass and multi-paned double-hung sash windows flank it each side.
57 Northam – York Road also has the same Flemish bond brickwork.
