Number 28A And Attached Drill Hall

This is an early 19th century house that was later converted into an inn and stableyard. It was altered for military use in 1872 and now serves as a Territorial Army office with a drill hall attached, accessed from St Andrewgate.

The front facing Colliergate presents a three-story, one-window facade. The inn front is constructed of pink-grey mottled brick in Flemish bond and features a timber boxed gutter. It has a door of six fielded panels to the left and a blocked doorway to the right, with a triple-pane sash window alongside. The first floor features a shallow bow window with three 15-pane sashes, while the second floor has two 16-pane sashes with painted sills and flat arches obscured by modillioned guttering with a fluted rainwater head. The roof is hipped and tiled, with brick stacks.

The St Andrewgate front of the drill hall is a single-story, nine-bay structure built of red brick in English bond, with bands and dressings of white brick, painted stone, and glazed tile. It sits on a double chamfered plinth and is articulated by plain pilasters. A coved cornice sits atop molded modillions, and a pierced parapet with flat coping completes the top. The central bay has double doors with shaped raised panels set within a two-centred arch of two orders on slender shafts with molded bases, annulets, and foliate capitals on high pedestals. A hoodmould with foliate corbel-stops sits above. A tiled tympanum, bordered with bay leaves and containing molded white roses, sits above the arch. A scrolled stone panel with the incised motto "PRO ARIS AND FOCIS" is positioned above the arch, too. Mullion and double transom windows, detailed similarly to the doorway, flank the central bay, with a recessed door under the left-hand window. Window sills extend as a sill band, and hoodmoulds continue over the pilasters as impost strings. Patterned tile sits beneath each window, set within a white brick band. A decaying foundation stone is set in the base of the left-hand pilaster and is inscribed with details relating to the building's construction for the 1st West Yorkshire (York) Rifle Volunteers. The roof is asphalt with a brick cornice stack at the right end, and long skylights run along the front and rear.

The interior of the building was not inspected and the drill hall is a recent addition to the list.
