1 Museum Street

The Museum Street Tavern, formerly Thomas's of York, is a historic pub in the city centre of York, in England. The building which houses the pub was first constructed in about 1700. In about 1800, it became part of Ettridge's Royal Hotel, and at some point in the 1820s, it was heightened from two to three storeys. In 1858, it was bought by William Thomas, an experienced hotellier, who renamed the hotel after himself. The remainder of the old hotel was demolished, and the Museum Street facade of the remaining building was altered, with work completed in 1863. Thomas sold the pub in 1876, to Thomas Lightfoot, a brewer from Bedale, but its name was retained. In 1900, it was purchased by John Smith's Brewery. At the time, it had eight bedrooms, a bar, two drawing rooms, a coffee room and a billiard room. The building is constructed of dark brown brick. The staircase and some first-floor doors are original, while the fireplaces and some plaster work date from the 1863 alterations. There is late-19th-century stained glass around the wide door, with a colourful design in the tympanum above, incorporating the name "Thomas's Hotel". The pub was Grade II listed in 1978. By 2022, it was owned by the Stonegate Pub Company, which closed it for conversion into a Be At One cocktail bar. In 2023 it reopened as the Museum Street Tavern.

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.

The Oratory Church of Saint Wilfrid, York (or York Oratory for short) is a Catholic church in York, England. A church dedicated to Saint Wilfrid has stood in York since medieval times. The church is known as the "Mother Church of the city of York". It is in Gothic Revival style. The arch over the main door has the most detailed Victorian carving in the city. The present church was completed in 1864 and is considered to be one of the most perfectly finished Catholic churches in England, rich in sculptures, paintings and stained glass. In 2013, the church was entrusted to the Oratorian Fathers.It is within the Diocese of Middlesbrough and was the second pro-Cathedral of the Diocese of Beverley until its dissolution in 1878.

The York Dispensary is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The York Dispensary was established in 1788 in a room in Merchant Adventurers' Hall. It provided free treatment to poor patients, and its doctors undertook home visits when necessary. In 1808, it moved into a house on St Andrewgate, then a purpose-built building on New Street in 1829. In 1899, it needed larger premises, and moved to a building on Duncombe Place, designed by Edmund Kirby and constructed at a cost of £6,000. The dispensary closed in 1948, following the founding of the National Health Service, and the following year, the building became a health service centre run by the city corporation. The building was Grade II listed in 1975. Kirby was originally commissioned by the firm of solicitors, Messrs Gray, Dodsworth and Cobb to build offices. When the neighbouring site was purchased by the dispensary, it also took on Kirby, and tasked him with constructing both buildings in the same style.The building is constructed of red brick, with moulded brick dressings, stone window surrounds, tiled roofs, finials in terracotta and wrought iron, and a weathervane in the style of a snake. It has two main storeys, a basement, and an attic, with various gables and turrets. The former dispensary has an arched entrance with original double doors, and a carved stone panel above displaying the city's coat of arms and the text "YORK DISPENSARY". There is also an arched carriage entrance, with wrought iron gates, with "PATIENTS ENTRANCE" inscribed above. Inside, the original dispensary and office staircases survive, as do various doors, architraves and cornices.

1–5 Blake Street is a Grade II listed terrace of buildings in the city centre of York, in England.The current terrace originated in the 16th century, as a large, timber-framed, building, with four parallel ranges, gabled to the street and to the rear, covering what is now 1 and 3 Blake Street. This was probably a two-storey building, and is described by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England as having been "exceptional in the city in its degree of elaboration". To the rear of the building was a yard, now fully enclosed, with a Magnesian Limestone wall which appears to have been built from stone shaped in the 12th century.In the 17th century, the northernmost range was extended to project to the rear, and late in the century, an attic storey was added to part of 1 Blake Street. The building was remodelled in the second quarter of the 18th century, with the a new front to Blake Street built in brick, the roof largely replaced, and a new staircase added at the rear. The street may have been widened at this point, so the front may be on an entirely new alignment. 5 Blake Street was built at the same time, with a front in the same style, and it may also include some remains of an earlier timber-framed building. Repeated alterations in the 19th and 20th century include further extensions to the rear of the terrace, new shop fronts for 1 and 5 Blake Street and the removal of some internal walls, but the Georgian windows survive, unusually, in 3 Blake Street, even at ground floor level.The Blake Street facade is 11 bays long and two storeys high, and there are nine sash windows at first floor level. There is a drainpipe head dated 1765. Inside, the first floor of 1 Blake Street has some 17th century panelling, which may have been moved from elsewhere. 3 Blake Street has a 17th-century door frame on the ground floor, and a late 17th century staircase. Its first floor is combined with that of 5 Blake Street. One room has early-17th century panelling, and there are several Georgian fireplaces and cornices. 5 Blake Street has a 19th-century domed ceiling with a rooflight which previously lit a spiral staircase, later removed.
