The house at 6 Bosisto Street, Richmond, constructed in 1858, probably by the original owner, John Pollock, a stonemason is significant. It is a small, single-storey cottage constructed of coursed quarry-faced bluestone construction with pick-faced bluestone quoining and dressings to window and door openings. The central panelled entrance door is flanked by single-paned double-hung sash windows. The hipped corrugated iron roof is concealed behind a painted moulded cornice and parapet.
The house at 6 Bosisto Street, Richmond, is of local architectural and historical significance to the City of Yarra.
The house is historically and architecturally significant as a rare, early bluestone cottage, substantially intact, and one of the few remaining residences in Richmond dating from the 1850s. (Criteria A, B & D)
