73, 75 and 77 Low Petergate
By Seeker
73, 75 and 77 Low Petergate is a remarkable terrace of late Medieval buildings in York, England, constructed in the late 16th century. Originally comprising four houses, these timber-framed structures feature three storeys with jettied upper levels and retain elements of their historical architecture, including original staircases and a notable chimney breast in No. 75. The buildings are adorned with stucco fronts designed to mimic ashlar stone, and while Nos. 73 and 77 showcase original gables, No. 75 has later additions. Located on a prominent shopping street, the ground floors were converted into shops in the 19th century, with No. 77's shop front still visible. This terrace is part of a larger collection of timber-framed buildings in the area and has been designated as Grade II* listed since 1954, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in medieval architecture and urban history.
