Bootham Bar Hotel

Bootham Bar Hotel, formerly known as No. 109 High Petergate, is a house converted into a hotel, built in 1782 with later alterations and extensions. It is likely designed by Peter Atkinson, senior, for Joseph Horner. The building features orange-brown brick in Flemish bond on the front and right return, with random bond used elsewhere. It has a timber doorcase and cornice, a double span roof that is hipped on the right, with the front covered in slate and the rear in plain tile, along with brick stacks.

The exterior consists of four storeys and a basement, with a two-window front. At the right end, there is a fluted pilaster doorcase beneath an open pediment decorated with festoons and other mouldings. Three steps lead up to a six-panel door with a radial fanlight above a fluted transom. To the left, iron grilles cover two cellar windows that have segmental brick arches. The ground, first, and second floors feature 12-pane sash windows, while the third floor has two 1-pane casement windows. The ground and first floor windows have painted stone sill bands, and all windows except those on the third floor have gauged brick arches. The first floor has a raised band, and the modillioned eaves cornice extends over the right return as a brick dentil cornice. At the left end, there is an inverted bell rainwater head dated 1782, initialled JH.

The rear of the building has a four-storey, two-bay front. The ground floor is obscured by an extension, while the first and second floors have 12-pane sash windows, and the third floor has two 1-pane casement windows, all with rendered wedge lintels. The brick dentil eaves cornice continues here as well.

Inside, the ground floor features round arches on pilasters with imposts that separate the stair hall. The top-lit staircase leads to the attic and has open strings, slender turned balusters, shaped tread ends, and a flat moulded and ramped handrail. The first and second floors have landings and subdivided front rooms that retain simple moulded cornices.
