The Dutch House, York
The Dutch House, York

The Dutch House is a historic house, lying on Ogleforth, in the city centre of York, in England. The house was built in brick in about 1650, with Andrew Graham dating it to 1648. It is a small building and originally had two rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Later in the 17th-century, two Dutch gables were added to the front, each with a dormer window. Originally, it is believed to have had only an external staircase, suggesting that it was not a domestic building.In the 18th century, the building's interior was heavily altered, and by the early 19th century, it had been divided into three tenements. In 1954, it was Grade II* listed but it was in a poor state of repair, and in 1956, John Smith's Brewery announced plans to demolish it. Instead, the York Civic Trust restored the building, with much of the front wall entirely rebuilt, as a copy of the original. It then formed part of the brewery, but in 2010 was converted to accommodation, and has since been available to let for holidays. This more recent work won a York Design Award.The building is of two storeys and an attic. It is four bays wide, with the leftmost bay having no windows or doors. The other three all differ: a window with three lights on each floor in the second bay, a round-headed door with an oriel window above in the third bay, and a smaller first floor window in the fourth bay, with the ground floor window having been filled in, though its pediment remains.

The Golden Slipper, York
The Golden Slipper, York

The Golden Slipper is a Grade II listed pub in the city centre of York, England.The pub lies on Goodramgate. It was originally constructed about 1500 as a house, with the north-eastern half the building dating from this period. This section is three storeys high and timber-framed. Its facade is jettied to the street, and rendered over. To its right, it originally overhung an alleyway, but the neighbouring Royal Oak has since extended into this space. In the 18th-century, it was extended to the rear, in brick, with an attic added to this section in the 19th-century.The south-western half of the building dates from the 19th-century. It is brick-built and of two storeys, with a basement and attic. Internally, the building has been frequently altered and does not retain any original features. Its ground floor, based around a corridor, is largely Victorian, but was partly redesigned in 1983, against the objections of the Campaign for Real Ale.The older half of the building may have already been a pub in the 18th-century, named the Show, the name taken either from a greyhound, or as an alternative spelling of "shoe". By 1812, it was The Slipper, becoming The Golden Slipper in the 20th-century.There are stories of the pub being haunted, with ghosts said to manifest themselves when the building is being decorated. The haunting was linked to the discovery of a Mediaeval children's shoe in 1984, during work at the pub. The building was later exorcised.

Oliver Sheldon House
Oliver Sheldon House

The Oliver Sheldon House is a Grade II* listed house on Aldwark, in the city centre of York, in England. The earliest surviving part of the house is some 15th-century internal framing. In the late 16th century, a block was added to the rear, the design of which is tentatively attributed by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) to William Garbutt. In 1703, it was purchased by Charles Redman, who soon became Lord Mayor of York. He rebuilt the exterior, in brick, in about 1720, the work being completed under his son William. He sold the house in 1748, following which it was divided, and the south-east doorway was added. By the mid-19th century, part of the building operated as the Ebor Tavern. In 1961, the whole building was donated to the York Civic Trust, which commissioned Francis Johnson to restore it as flats, the work being complete in 1969. The trust named the property after Oliver Sheldon, who had been a leading figure in the organisation.The building is of two storeys and an attic, with the front having eight windows and two doors. The front is of orange brick, with a stone plinth and a timber cornice. One drainhead is dated 1732. Internally, much 18th-century work survives, including the flooring in the entrance and staircase halls, the oak main staircase, the ceiling above the staircase, and the panelling of two ground floor rooms. The half-landing, in the middle of the staircase, has a wooden floor which the RCHME describe as "exceptional". One rear ground floor room has an early-17th century ceiling, and a fireplace surround which was moved from 27 Trinity Lane in 1969.
