This building is easily overlooked and is passed by hundreds of pedestrians every week, who's only interest might be in the retail premises on the ground floor. This was once a fine house of circa 1754 and is attributed to John Carr who was responsible for many of the finest houses in York and for such as Harewood House. The original ground floor windows, door and decorative railings have long gone, but the house still has a Grade II* rating which dates back to 1952.
