The Dutch House, York

Last updated October 23, 2024

The Dutch House is a historic house, lying on Ogleforth, in the city centre of York, England.

The house was built in brick in about 1650, with Andrew Graham dating it to 1648. It is a small building and originally had two rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Later in the 17th-century, two Dutch gables were added to the front, each with a dormer window. Originally, it is believed to have had only an external staircase, suggesting that it was not a domestic building.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In the 18th century, the building's interior was heavily altered, and by the early 19th century, it had been divided into three tenements.^[1] In 1954, it was Grade II* listed but it was in a poor state of repair,^[2]^[1] and in 1956, John Smith's Brewery announced plans to demolish it.^[4] Instead, the York Civic Trust restored the building,^[4] with much of the front wall entirely rebuilt, as a copy of the original.^[1] It then formed part of the brewery,^[2] but in 2010 was converted to accommodation, and has since been available to let for holidays. This more recent work won a York Design Award.^[3]

The building is of two storeys and an attic. It is four bays wide, with the leftmost bay having no windows or doors. The other three all differ: a window with three lights on each floor in the second bay, a round-headed door with an oriel window above in the third bay, and a smaller first floor window in the fourth bay, with the ground floor window having been filled in, though its pediment remains.^[1]^[2]
