Curators House

Curator's House, located in Museum Gardens, York, was built in 1844 by JB and W Atkinson for the Curator of the Yorkshire Museum. This Gothic Revival house, now used as offices and storage, is constructed from coursed squared magnesian limestone with ashlar dressings and features a plain tiled roof with ashlar corniced stacks. The building has coped gables with shaped kneelers and finials resembling cushion capitals.

The house is two storeys with an attic and has a gabled front with two windows to the left and a one-storey, one-window front to the right, which has a chamfered eaves course and a half-hipped attic dormer. The gabled front includes a board door with a 4-centred head on ornate hinges within a moulded architrave. The ground floor windows are mullioned and transomed, with three lights to the left of the door and two lights to the right, while other windows consist of two mullioned lights. All the mullions, transoms, and openings are ovolo-moulded, and the openings are square-headed and quoined. The dormer features a two-light casement window. The right return of the building has a two-storey, one-window gabled front, with windows that match the style of the main front. The interior has not been inspected.
