107 and 108, High Street

This is a mid-18th century house, now divided into two shops on the High Street in Northallerton. It is constructed of orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a pantile roof. The building is three storeys high and has three bays. A central ground-floor passage opens to the street, flanked by 20th-century shop fronts, the one on the right featuring a projecting canopy. The first floor has a sill band and sash windows with exposed sash boxes and flat arches topped with keystones. The window in the first bay has glazing bars, while the second-bay window is blind and painted to resemble a window with glazing bars. A second sill band is present on the second floor, where there are half-size sash windows with exposed sash boxes and flat arches topped with keystones. The first-bay window has six panes, whereas the second-bay window is blind and painted to resemble six panes. There is a dentil course along the eaves, and a stack at the right end. The elevation is well-detailed, featuring sill bands with patent terracotta voussoirs. The flat arches above the windows, and the overall design, suggest potential involvement by John Carr of York.
