29 And 31, Micklegate

29 and 31 Micklegate is a former hotel and shop, now used as a shop and offices. It dates from the late 18th century and was remodelled around 1860, with renovations completed in 1991. The building features orange-red and vitrified brick in Flemish bond at the front, with painted stone dressings and a moulded dentilled eaves cornice that returns at each end. The shopfront is made of timber and has brick end stacks leading to a shallow pitched slate roof.

The structure is three storeys high with an attic and has a four-window front. The shopfront includes plain pilasters and a moulded dentil cornice supported by grooved bulbous brackets, with a glazed shop door situated between half-canted plate glass windows. The shop door and windows feature moulded glazing bars in an Art Nouveau style. To the left of the shopfront, there is an elliptical carriage arch made of voussoirs on plain pilasters with moulded imposts, which contains panelled double doors beneath a blocked fanlight. On the right end, there is an upper floor entrance door with four sunk panels and a blocked fanlight set in a panelled reveal.

The first-floor windows are tall, four-pane segment-headed sashes with architraves and cornice hoods on consoles. The second-floor windows are cambered arched four-pane sashes in eared architraves with moulded bracketed sills. The attic features squat six-pane sashes. Both the first and second floors have small wrought-iron balconies in front of the windows, and there are raised sill bands at the first floor and attic levels.

At the rear, the building rises four storeys and has four bays, with a central full-height chimney stack. The ground floor is largely obscured by later one-storey extensions. On the right end, a former segment-arched carriage arch has been partly blocked by a brick screen and 20th-century board double doors. The first and second floors have 16-pane sashes, with a 12-pane sash to the right of the stack on the first floor and a round-headed margin-glazed light on the second floor. The third floor has squat eight-pane sashes, and all windows except the round-headed one feature flat arches of brick.
