Tocumwal houses, Post-war residential complex in O'Connor, Australia.

The Tocumwal houses form a residential district of about 200 structures arranged in eight small cul-de-sacs in O'Connor. The buildings feature three to four bedrooms, weatherboard walls, timber floors, and separate indoor bathrooms.

The houses were built in the southern New South Wales town of Tocumwal and moved to Canberra in the 1940s to ease a housing shortage. About 200 were relocated, most of them into a small precinct of eight cul-de-sacs in O'Connor. That precinct joined the Australian Capital Territory Heritage Register in 1998.

The name comes from Tocumwal, the southern New South Wales town where the houses were first built. The precinct's eight cul-de-sacs are named after towns in the region, and the Tocumwal Archive collects stories and photographs of the houses and their former residents.

The precinct lies in O'Connor and is laid out as eight small cul-de-sacs, so it is easiest to cover on foot or by bicycle. These are ordinary residential streets, so keep to the roadway and footpaths and respect residents' privacy. The ACT Heritage Register listing of 1998 covers the precinct as a whole.

The Tocumwal houses were built in the New South Wales town of Tocumwal and moved to Canberra in the 1940s; about 200 were relocated, most of them into the eight cul-de-sacs of the O'Connor precinct. The precinct entered the ACT Heritage Register in 1998, and again under the Heritage Act 2004.
