68 and 70 Walmgate
68 and 70 Walmgate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The house lies on the northeast side of Walmgate. It was constructed in about 1700, although Historic England states that it probably has earlier origins; some of the roof timbers are Mediaeval. It was a large house, with four bedrooms and servants' quarters, unusual for the street which had high levels of poverty and several industrial sites. The building was altered in 1783, which may be when it was divided in two, with the ground floor converted to shops. In the mid-19th century, 70 Walmgate was occupied by the vicar of nearby St Margaret's Church. The whole property was purchased by Age Concern in 1985, which converted it into a single shop, with offices above. In 2021, it was converted into a single holiday let, named The Georgian Townhouse. It has been Grade II* listed since 1971.
The house is two storeys tall, with attics and a cellar. It is five bays wide, and is constructed of orange brick with a pantile roof. There are five upper floor windows, the wall above set slightly further forward. There is a drainpipe with the date 1783. In plan, the first floor has two large rooms at the front and two smaller rooms with a stairwell between at the back, while the servants' staircase is to the left. Original plasterwork survives, as does some panelling and a fireplace.
