Residence, 17 Tenth Road is a good representative example of Victorian Georgian architectural style early into the Federation period that is part of the early development north of the town. Individually and together with similar residences at 11 and 13 Tenth Road, it makes a significant contribution to the historical townscape of York.
The residence has a low picket fence along the front boundary with a cottage garden in the front setback. Single storey with a simple hipped roof and separate skillion front veranda supported by timber posts. The symmetrical frontage has a central front door flanked by single double-hung sash windows. Tall square face brick chimneys with brick corbels are evident both sides of the roof.
The Rate books record that Amos Bradshaw, builder, owned the land in 1894, and by 1899 it was listed as house and land, and he was recorded as a Blacksmith. It is likely he built his own home. He died in 1916.
