100, 102 AND 104, THE MOUNT

A row of three houses at 100, 102, and 104 The Mount, York, built between 1807 and 1808. Numbers 100 and 102 are of painted brick, while number 102 has a stuccoed facade. All have slate roofs. The houses are arranged over three storeys and have attics. Each original house has a single bay with a doorway on the left side. A continuous sill band runs along the first floor, and numbers 100 and 102 feature stucco quoins. Numbers 100 and 102 have two-storey bowed windows with tripartite sash windows containing glazing bars. Number 104 has been altered with the insertion of a 20th-century shop window into the lower part of its bow, and its first-floor windows are tripartite sashes without glazing bars. Number 100’s second-floor window is a glazing bar sash. Number 102’s second-floor window is a tripartite glazing bar sash, and number 104’s is a plain sash. Each house has a flat-roofed attic dormer. The door cases are characterised by reeded pilasters and attenuated acanthus leaf consoles. The doors themselves have six raised and fielded panels. Number 100 has a fanlight above its door, while the other houses have semicircular overlights—that to number 102 divided vertically into three sections. There is a dentilled gutter cornice. Lead rainwater hoppers and downpipes are present on numbers 100 and 102. Chimneys are situated between the houses and on the right-hand gable. The cellar of number 104 contains a Roman burial vault, which was uncovered during the site’s construction in 1807. This discovery is documented in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments of the City of York.
