Statement of Significance
Residence 26 Bird Street is significant in demonstrating an eclectic design of the Interwar period of development in York. It makes a contribution to the historic townscape of York.
Physical Description
The single storey brick residence has hipped gambrel roof with a central gable feature. The gable is low pitched and has a half-timbered infill. It is supported by masonry piers at the ends of the masonry veranda balustrade, with pairs of timber posts with decorative curved timber brackets. The symmetrical frontage has a central front door with sets of three casements flanking it. The chimneys are tall painted face brick with a single course of corbelled brick at the top.
History
In 1921 the site was vacant land owned by Arthur Henry Giles and was still in that situation in 1925 after which time there are no records in the Archives.
