Description
Wetherby House is a building that has been converted into shops, offices, and a dental surgery. It dates from the early to mid-19th century, specifically after 1824. The facade is made of dressed sandstone, with ashlar magnesian limestone on the left side. The roof is covered with graduated slate.
The building has two storeys and features three bays facing the Market Place, as well as three bays on the left side facing Castle Gate. There is a panelled double door with a fanlight that has glazing bars, set within a wooden doorcase that includes fluted half-columns, triglyphs in the frieze, and a cornice. On either side of the entrance are 20th-century shop windows that have bowed casements with glazing bars.
On the first floor, there are plain sash windows with projecting stone sills beneath flat arches, and paired wooden gutter brackets. The roof is hipped on the left side and has two ashlar ridge stacks at the eaves, with a right end stack shared with the adjacent property, The Three Legs.
On the left side, the ground-floor windows have been altered, with the central opening blocked, and there is a blind window on the first floor to the right. The building is not shown on the 1824 sale plan for Wetherby.
