19 and 21 Micklegate

33–37 Micklegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Micklegate, one of the major streets in the city centre. A large stone house was first recorded on the site in 1230: a hall with two cellars below, and smaller houses behind. In the late 17th century, a new structure was built on the rear part of the site, and this forms the oldest part of the current building, a two-storey, L-shaped block constructed of brick. This was constructed when the property was owned by the Wharton family, and is believed to be the work of Anthony Wharton.In the early 18th century, the front part of the current building was constructed, a two-storey block with attics, which is five bays wide. The architect Peter Atkinson bought the property in 1812. He added a third storey to the east wing, added a new staircase hall, and divided the property in two. He lived in the larger portion, later 37 Micklegate, and leased out the smaller one. By the late 1820s, Atkinson was also leasing out his former home, initially to the newspaper owner William Hargrove.In the late 19th century, the east wall of the south wing was altered, with a new entrance created, and most of the windows remodelled, although a now-blocked 17th century oval window survives. Original windows survive in the rear elevation. The whole of the ground floor is now occupied by three shops, with 20th century shopfronts. The eaves on the Micklegate front have also been remodelled. The building was grade II* listed in 1971.Inside, on the first floor of 33 Micklegate, full-height 18th century panelling survives in the front room and some original plasterwork. In the rear room on the same floor, there is full-height 17th century panelling, a blocked fireplace and an original door. The staircase has been altered, but retains 17th century balusters and, in the attic, its original handrail. 37 Micklegate retains Atkinson's staircase, a marble fireplace and plasterwork in the front room on the first floor, and in the rear room on the top floor, a frieze showing Greek characters playing musical instruments.

Church Cottages is a terrace of timber framed houses, in the city centre of York, in England. The terrace dates from the late 15th century. It runs along All Saints Lane, its gable end being on North Street. It faces All Saints' Church, and is likely to have been owned by the church since its construction. It is four bays long; the two south-eastern bays each form the basis of a house, while the two smaller north-western bays are deeper and together form a third house. The two fronts facing the streets are jettied. The terrace has two storeys and a king post roof truss, which can be seen in the gable end; like the rest of the walls, the timber is infilled with brick.Although no original windows survive, there is an 18th-century oriel window, and the other windows are 19th-century sashes. Each property has an 18th-century fireplace. The staircases are replacements, and are steep, similar in form to a ladder.From the 1920s to the 1960s, the north-western property was used as a shop. Once it closed, the building sat empty for several years until it was modernised as part of a general renovation of the street. A passage to the rear yard through the rear part of the north-western bays being filled in. The work was completed in 1974, and the property has since been residential.The Press described the terrace as being "not a particularly famous building: but it is very distinctive". It has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

The Old Rectory is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1600, possibly as a warehouse, on the south side of Tanner Row. In the late 17th century, a chimney stack was inserted, and this probably represents its conversion into a house. The building was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries; in 1937, a new staircase from Alne House was inserted, this having been constructed in about 1640. At the time, it served as the rectory to All Saints' Church, North Street; the rector, Patrick Shaw, incorrectly claimed that the building had been constructed in 1498, and inscribed that date in plaster on the rear of the building. In the 1970s, the house was instead occupied by the vicar of St Mary Bishophill Junior. In 1954, the building was Grade II* listed. The building is timber framed, with three bays, and two storeys plus an attic. It does not appear to have originally had any internal partitions, supporting the theory that it was built as a warehouse. On the Tanner Row front, it is jettied at both the first floor and eaves levels, with the eaves being gabled. It is now accessed through a passageway which leads through neighbouring 7 Tanner Row, although that house is of later date. The windows are all sashes, with the attic one dating to about 1700. The right facade has three original window openings and one a later insertion, although the ground floors windows are now blocked. The timber framing is exposed through much of the building.

1 Tanner Row is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was originally constructed in the late 15th century, as a Wealden hall house, which by the date was a common design in South East England, but rare in York. 1 Tanner Row and the Wealden Hall, also in the city, are the two northernmost surviving examples of Wealden halls. As built, it had a large open hall, with a two-storey block on the east, and another to the west which could not be accessed from the hall. In the 17th century, the hall and the east block were divided to form two tenements. As part of the conversion, a floor was added to divide the hall vertically, and it was extended to jetty out, matching the east and west blocks. A central chimney and two staircases were also added. The building was refronted in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, the west block became vacant, and it was demolished in 1929. Around this time, the roof of the remaining part of the building was replaced. Although it became vacant in the mid-20th century, it was restored in the early 1970s, and again in 1991, to serve as offices. In 1971, it was Grade II* listed.The building is timber framed and is now all two stories high. It lies on the corner of Tanner Row and North Street, and there is a decorated beam at the corner. The original doorway, now altered, is in the middle of the North Street facade, and to its right are a 19th-century door and large window. To the south, the building now adjoins another house, and the dividing wall has been rebuilt in brick. Inside, much of the timber framing survives, as does one 17th-century staircase.

Garforth House is a grade I listed building in York, England. The house lies at 54 Micklegate, in the city centre. The site was occupied by two tenements in early-18th century, one of which was purchased by William Garforth, and the other by his nephew, Edmund Garforth. In the 1750s, they cleared the site for the construction of Garforth House, which is generally believed to have been designed by John Carr of York. It was completed around 1757, and Edmund lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, but they soon began letting it out. In 1831, it was sold to Barnard Hague.In 1912, St Margaret's Independent Grammar School for Girls, a small religious school, moved into the building. It remained at the site until it closed, in 1968, after which the building was used as offices. In 2010, it was sold and reconverted to residential use.The house is of three stories, and its brick front was originally symmetrical, although the door on the right of the ground floor was later replaced by a window. It has stone quoins, and in its pediment is an oculus window. Its original lamp brackets survive, while balconies were added to the second floor windows in the 19th-century. The rear is of a lighter brick, and has an original drainpipe. Inside, the three floors above ground have richly decorated rooms utilising marble, many of which had original fireplaces. It has an unusual plan for the period, based on an "H" shape, with the main staircase at the rear, and a large saloon on the first floor overlooking the garden.
