20, York Place

This is an early 19th-century house, later converted to offices, situated on the south side of York Place. Constructed between 1834 and 1850, the house is built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stone detailing, and a slate roof. It has three storeys and a basement, with three bays. The front features a panelled door with a fanlight, set within a round brick arch flanked to the left and right. A corniced bow window is positioned between the door and sashes with 16 panes. The ground floor windows are 12-pane sashes and those on the second floor are 9-pane sashes, all with glazing bars. The windows are topped with rubbed brick flat arches, and a stone sill band runs along the first floor. The basement railings are made of wrought iron, featuring alternating wavy bars and pointed finials, with standards topped with fleur-de-lis finials. The house was originally known as York House in 1870, and was occupied by drapers, cloth, and woollen merchants. The interior has not been inspected.
