41 and 43 Low Petergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The building lies on Low Petergate, one of the main streets in the city centre. The front section is a timber-framed building dating from the late 14th century. It was extended to the rear, in brick, in the 18th century. At the time, it was used as a coffee shop, and it remained the Garrick Coffee House until 1860. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. Since 2011, it has housed a branch of Neal's Yard Remedies.
The front of the three-storey building is jettied, with the timberwork covered in plaster and whitewashed. At ground floor level is a timber shopfront, with a 20th-century bow window. The upper floors have sash windows dating from the 1760s. The cornice has an elaborate drainpipe head, decorated with rosettes. The rear is also of three storeys, the left bay having a round-headed staircase window, with a sash above. Inside, much timber framing is visible, as is the crown post roof in the front section. Early features include the cellar door, the 18th-century first floor staircase, and a ladder staircase to the attic, along with 17th and 18th-century panelling and doors in the front and back rooms on the first and second floors.

43 Stonegate is a historic, Grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England.
The building lies on Stonegate, one of the most historic streets in the city of York. It was probably constructed in the 15th century. The building was remodelled in the 17th century, and the front and roof were replaced in the late 18th century. At the time, it was the White Dog pub, which by the mid-19th century had become the White Hart Inn. Since 1991, it has housed the Pyramid Gallery.
The building is timber-framed and has three storeys and a cellar. Both of the upper storeys are jettied. There is a shop window at ground floor level, while the upper floors have bay windows. The rear wall is of 18th-century brick. Inside, there is a historic cooking range in the cellar, in a stone fireplace. The main staircase is also historic, while on the second floor there is part of a frieze and several 17th-century doors.

33–35 High Petergate is a mediaeval building in the city centre of York, in England.
The oldest part of the building was constructed in the 14th century as part of a terrace facing Stonegate, this part is now known as 60 Stonegate. The main part of the building, two houses now numbered 33 and 35 High Petergate, is timber framed and was originally of two jettied storeys, built at an unknown date. Around 1600, a jettied second floor and attic were added, and 60 Stonegate was combined with the High Petergate row. At the corner of the building is a dragon post inscribed ":ANNO:DO:1646".
In the early 18th century, an extension was added at the rear of the building, doubling its depth. 33 Petergate was altered in the early 19th century, and a small brick-built rear wing was added. Later in the century, shop fronts were inserted at ground level, and these survive. Inside, there are several early doors and the upper part of the staircase in No. 35 is also early, while the lower part is 18th century. The staircase in No. 33 is early 19th century.
The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. It is currently divided into two shops, with flats above.

54, 56, and 58 Stonegate is a Grade II* listed mediaeval terrace in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was constructed in the early 14th century, on the north-west side of Stonegate, one of the city's most important streets. The site had been owned by the Vicars Choral since 1278, and they built the three-storey terrace, originally consisting of up to seven tenements. In 1415, it was described as a "site with shops built on it and chambers above at the corner of Stonegate opposite the entrance of the Minster", and the profits from its rents were devoted to St Andrew's Chantry at York Minster.
In 1549, the chantries were dissolved, and the terrace was sold, but the Vicars Choral later re-acquired it. The buildings have been repeatedly altered, and the divisions between the properties now do not line up with the original divisions, particularly on the upper floors. In the 17th century, a panelled room was created on the first floor of 58 Stonegate, which survives. Around 1646, the upper floors of the two north-east bays were rebuilt, and that section of the terrace was connected with neighbouring properties on High Petergate; that building now being listed separately from the remainder of the terrace.
The building is timber-framed, with the jettied front to Stonegate being plastered over. The windows all date from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the ground floor fronts have been replaced by 19th-century shop fronts, although a 17th-century door to 58 survives.
The name of the business, Hardcastle Silversmith Jeweller, is still engraved across three of the windowsills today.
