23 High Petergate is a grade I listed building in the city centre of York, in England.

The house lies on High Petergate, one of the main streets in York. It was built in about 1779 at the end of a terrace, with a three-storey, four bay front of red brick, and side and back walls of orange brick. Its external appearance is largely original, including the doorway, windows, and ground floor shutters. The top of a drainpipe is inscribed "1780", while a similar one to the rear is marked "1779". To the side of the front door is a torch extinguisher, made of iron. The garden wall is also original. [1] [2]

A carriage house was added in the late 19th-century, and there were further alterations to the building in the 20th-century. Inside the building, the main feature is an original staircase, rising through all the stories, with a serpentine balustrade, top lit by a glazed dome, surrounded by neoclassical plasterwork. [1] [2] This staircase is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "exceptional". [3]

The building was grade I listed in 1954. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hawthorn Hall</span> Wlimslow, Cheshire, England

Hawthorn Hall is a former country house in Hall Road, Wilmslow, Cheshire, England. It originated in about 1610 as a timber-framed yeoman house for John Chavman of mnc. It was improved and encased in brick for John Leigh in 1698. Its use changed in the 19th century, and in 1835 it opened as a homeless shelter school. During the 1960s the house served as a private residence. The building has since been used as offices. It is constructed in plum-coloured brick, with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, a stone ridge, and three brick chimneys. Parts of the timber-framing can still be seen in the roof gables, and in an internal wall. The plan consists of a long rectangle. The house is in 2½ storeys, and has a near-symmetrical north front. There are four gables with bargeboards and mace finials. Each gable contains a pair of wooden mullioned and transomed windows. In the centre is a doorway, flanked by plain pilasters, and surmounted by a segmental hood framing a cartouche containing the date 1698. At the top of the hall, above the door, is a small balustrade, behind which is a half-glazed lantern with a cupola and a weathervane. The south front is similar to the north front, although the door is not central. This door is flanked by fluted pilasters, and surmounted by a plaque with a lion rampant. The east front has two gables. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner comments that the house is "good to look at, though conservative for its date". The house, together with parts of the garden walls, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
