37 AND 38, FOSSGATE

37 and 38 Fossgate is a pair of houses that have been converted into a single shop, built around 1830. The building features orange-grey mottled brick in Flemish bond, with timber shopfronts and an eaves frieze and gutter box supported by paired modillions. It has brick stacks on a pantile roof.

The exterior is three stories high with a two-window front. The shopfronts include sunk-panel pilasters and a narrow frieze of beaded shaped panels, with a central door made of six sunk panels topped by a bordered overlight. The shop doors are glazed and panelled, also featuring similar overlights, while the shop windows consist of small panes. The first-floor windows are 16-pane sashes, and the second-floor windows are unequal 12-pane sashes, all with narrow painted sills and cambered heads beneath channelled wedge lintels. The interior has not been inspected.
