The Old Rectory, Tanner Row

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.

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 Aviva Building is an office building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies by the River Ouse, on a prominent site in the centre of the historic city. It was designed by the Hurd Rolland Partnership, led by Brian Paul. Paul initially proposed a modern building, based around "tumble down masonry cubes" which would create a traditional skyline. The York Civic Trust successfully argued for a more traditional design, including gables and windows with mullions and transoms. The building is six storeys high along the river, and four storeys along Tanner Row. It has an octagonal tower. The river and Tanners Moat facades are faced in Magnesian Limestone, and John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as the city's only post-World War II building to be faced largely with quarried stone. The Tanner Row and rear facades are of brick. The ground floor is rusticated, and there are string courses at the first- and third-floor levels. At the rear, there is a rooftop car park. The building was completed in 1993. Patrick Nuttgens wrote approvingly of the design as fitting in with the city's heritage, but Peter Davey writing in the Architectural Review criticised its facadism.The building originally housed the regional headquarters of the General Accident insurance company. Following a series of mergers, it became the headquarters of Aviva. In 2018, the stonework was cleaned.

The Maltings is a historic pub on Tanner's Moat in York. The pub opened in 1842 as the Railway Tavern, a short walk from York railway station, which had opened the previous year. The opening of Lendal Bridge nearby increased its trade, although the relocation of York railway station reduced it. In light of these changes, in 1885 it was renamed the "Lendal Bridge Hotel". The building had rooms for travellers, and was sometimes referred to as an inn. It was also occasionally used to hold inquests into deaths. In 1902, it was recorded as having a smoke room, a tap room, and a serving bar. The pub was acquired by Bass Brewery, which sold it in 1992 to Anita Adams. Its new landlord, Shaun Collinge, the nephew of Adams, remained in post for more than thirty years. The building was extended in 2012, following which it was painted black, leading Nathen Amin to describe it as "one of York's most distinctive pubs". It stocked a wide range of real ales, up to 60 a month, leading to it regularly appearing in the Campaign for Real Ale's Good Beer Guide. For two years in a row, it was named national Cask Ale Pub of the Year by the Morning Advertiser. In 2023, The Guardian described it as Britain's "strictest pub", based on its prohibition of singing, hen and stag parties, fancy dress, and swearing. The pub was put up for sale in 2023, at a price of £1.5 million, reduced in 2024 to £1.35 million.

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.

19 and 21 Micklegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The three-storey front range of the building, facing onto Micklegate, was constructed in the late 15th century. An annexe was added at the back in the 16th century, then in about 1600, a rear wing was added behind 21 Micklegate, all of this work being timber framed. Originally, the frames were infilled with tiles, but most of these have since been replaced with brick. The front was originally jettied, but in the early 18th century, these were removed, and the building was refronted in brick, covered in stucco. In the late 19th century, the building was partly remodelled, and shopfronts were added on the ground floor.The building stretched further east until 1966, when the part which formed 17 Micklegate was demolished. The demolished building had been heavily altered through conversion into a shop. It was occupied by a painters' business from about 1779 until 1889, and it had one painted room, with papier mache borders, which dated from that period. In 1971, the surviving part of the building was Grade II listed.Inside, much of the timber framing survives, including the altered 15th century roof and original floor joists. Other early work includes the staircase in the rear wing, the chimney stack, a fireplace and oven on the ground floor, and a further fireplace on the first floor.Since 2022, the ground floor of the building has been occupied by a bookshop run by Amnesty International.

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.
