Statement of Significance
B Listed - Regional Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEHistorically, little is known of the owners and occupiers, with the exception of the Golightly family of building tradesmen who left few, if any, changes to the building exterior but otherwise, an example of housing from the immediate post gold boom in Geelong.
Architecturally, typical of early Geelong housing with surviving verandah details.

Richard Ward House - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
Like 220 Myers Street, this house is entered from the side, despite the symmetry of its front elevation. A simple hipped roof form, pitched over two rooms, with rear skillion, bears the mark of a former chimney central to the ridge. The concave roof verandah, with slender stop chamfered posts minus valence brackets and the multi-paned windows are further early details.
External Integrity
Added rooms at the rear of the skillion, anew fence which relates in part to the early fence types and removal of the chimney are the major changes.
Streetscape
This house and 220 Myers Street, must have stood alone for many years, with adjoining Edwardian and Bungalow era housing nevertheless supporting it in form, materials and siting.
