Club Chambers And Railings Attached At Front

The Club Chambers, located at 15 Museum Street in York, is an office building completed in 1875 by architect George Fowler Jones. It features red brick construction in Flemish bond, accented with white, black, and moulded bricks, along with stone bands decorated with nailhead and cable mouldings. The building has a moulded bracketed cornice and an eaves frieze made of faience, which includes panels of glazed tile. The structure has a low stone plinth at the Lendal front, slate roofs with corniced brick stacks, timber bracketed guttering, and wrought-iron finials.

The exterior consists of a basement, three storeys, and attics, arranged in a three-bay layout with a mansard roof. The end bays are stone quoined, with the right bay featuring a steeply cross-gabled roof and the left bay having a two-storey canted bay window topped with a pyramidal roof. A central six-panel door is flanked by narrow sidelights and is set within a doorcase made of rusticated square section piers, topped with a moulded dentilled cornice hood supported by heavy console brackets.

All windows are one-pane sashes, with those on the ground and first floors set beneath segmental arches of polychrome brick, while the second-floor windows have shouldered lintels. The ground floor windows have stone sills, and the second-floor windows are protected by guards on wide sills supported by elaborate brackets. The attic windows in the central range are one-pane sashes with moulded timber jambs. The left end bay features a two-light casement window in a semicircular gabled dormer with a finial, while the right end bay has a narrow one-pane sash with a plain sill and segmental arch.

The Lendal front has two storeys and attics with two bays, both stone quoined, and details that match the main front. It has two windows in the left bay and one in the right bay. At the front, a low chamfered wall with square section piers capped with domes supports horizontal railings set diagonally, featuring a serrated upper edge and square baluster standards that incorporate the monogram YCC. The interior has not been inspected, and there are subsidiary features including cast-iron railings on a brick and stone wall.
