The Eagle & Child is a pub on High Petergate, in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in the early 17th-century, as a three-storey timber-framed building, with attics and a jettied front. In the 18th-century, the building was altered internally, and a brick extension was added at the rear, shared with the neighbouring Petergate House. The building's staircase survives from this period. Late that century, bays were added at the front, which survive at the first- and second-floor levels. There is a large chimney between the front and rear rooms of the original part of the building, with fireplaces surviving from the 17th-, 18th- and early-19th centuries. The building was further altered in the 20th-century, and the ground floor shopfront dates from this era.By the mid-1960s, the building was a restaurant, when the Rolling Stones signed their names in lipstick on the wall of the top floor, graffiti which has been preserved. In 1977, the restaurant became Plunketts, which operated until 2015. That year, the Leeds Brewery converted it into the Eagle & Child pub, the name taken from a pub which operated on The Shambles from the 1700s until 1925. In 2017, it was taken over by Camerons Brewery, who refurbished the pub.The building has been grade II* listed since 1954.

Petergate House (or Oratory House) is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. A previous building on the site was constructed about 1500, and its later owners included Thomas Herbert and Henry Swinburne. William Turner bought it in 1723, and largely demolished it, only a single passageway surviving. The new house was of three storeys and seven bays, with a stucco front, lined to resemble stonework, while the rear is of brick.In the 19th-century, a new mansard roof was added, as was a two-storey semicircular bay to the rear. The interior was also largely remodelled, and the staircase was altered and moved. From the original fittings, several fireplaces survive, as does much of the decoration of the left-hand front room on the ground floor. The top of the staircase includes some reused balusters from about 1700.The building serves as the rectory for the York Oratory. It is the home of the Fathers of the Oratory and its garden is occasionally opened to the public.

The Red House is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The house lies on Duncombe Place, on the corner of St Leonard's Place. Its site is believed to be that of the east gate of St Leonard's Hospital. This was later replaced by a house which formed part of Mint Yard, which was purchased by the York Corporation in 1675. In 1701, that house was leased by Sir William Robinson, MP for York, and in about 1714 he rebuilt the house, retaining only the basement and ground floor walls at each side. William Etty designed another house for Robinson, and he is sometimes claimed to have also designed The Red House.In 1725, the corporation asked Robinson to surrender his lease so that it could use the house, but he refused, and the corporation instead built York Mansion House. Robinson died in 1736, and passed the house to Richard Elcock. In 1740, it was leased to John Burton, and later passed through numerous hands. The house originally had an L-shaped plan, but in the late-18th century, an extension turned it into a near-rectangular plan. At the same time, a new cornice was added to the building. The front of the house is of brick, painted red, with quoins and various dressings in stone, painted white. It is of five bays, with two main storeys, a basement and an attic. Eight stone steps lead up to the front door, and there are early 19th-century cast iron railings in front. Inside, it has some original fireplaces, panelling and cornices. The main staircase is late 18th-century, while the secondary staircase is early 18th-century.In 1954, the house was grade II* listed. In the late-20th century, it was used as the Leisure Services Department of the City of York Council. In 1999, the council sold it to the York Conservation Trust. The Trust lets it out for use as an antique centre, operated by Tim Hogarth.
