St Martin's Vicarage is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The house was constructed as the vicarage of St Martin-on-the-Hill, Scarborough. Some sources date it to 1863, but Nikolaus Pevsner argues that it must be later, as inside there is stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, which was manufactured around 1889. Like the church, it was designed by G. F. Bodley, but is in the Queen Anne style, similar to work by Norman Shaw. The building was grade II* listed in 1973. The vicarage is built of red brick, with moulded dressings, a string course and a tile roof. It has two storeys and attics, Three of the bays project under pediments and contain small-pane sash windows, and above each bay is a gable containing a window, over which is a pediment. Between the left two bays is a doorway, above which is a carved panel and a pediment.

The Woodend Gallery and Studios is an art gallery in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building was constructed in the 1835, for the architect George Knowles. It was one of four villas, the others being Crescent House, Londesborough Lodge, and the White House. In 1870, it was purchased by the Sitwell family. The interior was later altered by George Sitwell. In 1924, the house was purchased by Scarborough Corporation, which converted it into a natural history museum. It housed the collection donated by James Jonathan Harrison, which had previously been displayed in the town library. However, the museum did not open until 1951. The museum closed in the 1990s, with the exhibits placed in storage. Management of the building was passed to the Scarborough Museums Creative and Cultural Trust in 2005, and in 2007, the building was converted into the Creative Industries Centre, housing an art gallery and studios. The gallery hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. The building is constructed of stone with a string course, a cornice and a blocking course, and a hipped slate roof. There are two storeys and an attic, fronts of five bays, and a two-storey extension on the west. On the north front is a doorway with incised panelled pilasters, scroll brackets and a cornice, and the windows are sashes. The east front has a tall stair window, and on the south front is a continuous balcony on a segmental arched arcade. The building has been grade II* listed since 1953.
