41 and 43 Low Petergate

41 and 43 Low Petergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Low Petergate, one of the main streets in the city centre. The front section is a timber-framed building dating from the late 14th century. It was extended to the rear, in brick, in the 18th century. At the time, it was used as a coffee shop, and it remained the Garrick Coffee House until 1860. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. Since 2011, it has housed a branch of Neal's Yard Remedies. The front of the three-storey building is jettied, with the timberwork covered in plaster and whitewashed. At ground floor level is a timber shopfront, with a 20th-century bow window. The upper floors have sash windows dating from the 1760s. The cornice has an elaborate drainpipe head, decorated with rosettes. The rear is also of three storeys, the left bay having a round-headed staircase window, with a sash above. Inside, much timber framing is visible, as is the crown post roof in the front section. Early features include the cellar door, the 18th-century first floor staircase, and a ladder staircase to the attic, along with 17th- and 18th-century panelling and doors in the front and back rooms on the first and second floors.

54, 56, and 58 Stonegate
54, 56, and 58 Stonegate

54, 56, and 58 Stonegate is a grade II* listed mediaeval terrace in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in the early 14th century, on the north-west side of Stonegate, one of the city's most important streets. The site had been owned by the Vicars Choral since 1278, and they built the three-storey terrace, originally consisting of up to seven tenements. In 1415, it was described as a "site with shops built on it and chambers above at the corner of Stonegate opposite the entrance of the Minster", and the profits from its rents were devoted to St Andrew's Chantry at York Minster.In 1549, the chantries were dissolved, and the terrace was sold, but the Vicars Choral later re-acquired it. The buildings have been repeatedly altered, and the divisions between the properties now do not line up with the original divisions, particularly on the upper floors. In the 17th century, a panelled room was created on the first floor of 58 Stonegate, which survives. Around 1646, the upper floors of the two north-east bays were rebuilt, and that section of the terrace was connected with neighbouring properties on High Petergate, that building now being listed separately from the remainder of the terrace.The building is timber-framed, with the jettied front to Stonegate being plastered over. The windows all date from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the ground floor fronts have been replaced by 19th-century shop fronts, although a 17th-century door to 58 survives.
