15 And 17, Coney Street

15 and 17 Coney Street are shop and office buildings dating from the early 19th century. Number 15 has been modernised, while Number 17 was rebuilt in the 20th century, reusing an early 18th-century column, an early 19th-century bow window, and an eaves cornice. Number 15 is constructed of orange brick in Flemish bond, featuring a marble-faced office front, a timber eaves cornice, and a slate hipped roof with a brick stack. Number 17 is made of red brick in stretcher bond and includes a painted stone column.

The exterior has four storeys, with a two-window front for Number 15 and a one-window front for Number 17. The shopfront of Number 15 has glazed double doors set between plate glass windows, all topped with semicircular fanlights. The ground floor of Number 17 features a flat carriage arch with a reset Tuscan column as the right jamb and a plate glass shopfront. The first-floor windows of Number 15 are three-light shallow canted bays with one-pane sashes, fluted friezes, and moulded cornices. The reused window in Number 17 is a shallow tripartite bay with a 16-pane centre sash flanked by 8-pane sashes, a beaded panel frieze, and a plain cornice. The second-floor windows of both buildings are 12-pane sashes with flat arches of gauged brick, while the third floor has unequal 9-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills. A dentilled modillion eaves cornice runs across both buildings, with a return at the right end of Number 15, continuing beneath a plain parapet that masks the roof. An inverted bell rainwater head is located at the right end of Number 15.

The interiors were not inspected, but records indicate that Number 15 has a mid-19th-century fireplace and a moulded cornice in the first-floor front room, while Number 17 features an early 19th-century fireplace and a moulded cornice in its first-floor front room. Historically, Number 15 was built as offices for the newspaper 'The York Courant' and served this purpose until 1991. The reused features in Number 17 come from the George Inn, which was formerly on the site and was demolished in 1869.
