Statement of Significance
Residence, 44 Henry Road presents a picturesque country setting on the northern outskirts of the town representing rural life and contributing to the historic townscape of York.
Physical Description
The single storey building is located some distance from the road in a picturesque farming location, obscured my mature plantings, including palms, in close proximity to the residence. The roof appears to be hipped and a high pitch that breaks pitch over the verandas that are supported by turned timber posts. Face brick is evident in a Colonial (Garden Wall) bond where there are 3 or 4 courses of stretchers bond to one row of headers. The chimneys are distinctive with rendered base and corbelling with face brick between.
History
In 1913, Mrs Maida Hick, having married a York businessman Thornton Hick in 1912, is recorded as owning the land (Lots 20 and 22). Mrs Hick ran a dairy cow herd, and met the Dr Leo Percy Weidenbach, the local vet after he and his wife took up a property near Burgess in 1921. Mrs Hick was recorded in the Divorce Courts as the adulteress in the divorce petition by Mrs Ruby Weidenbach in filing for the dissolution of her marriage to Leo Percy Weidenbach in December 1921.
