Castlegate House And Attached Railings, Grade I listed building in Castlegate, York, England.

The orange-brown brick Georgian house features five bays across three stories with a slate-covered hipped roof and decorative wrought-iron railings.

Architect John Carr designed and built this residence between 1762 and 1763 for Peter Johnson, who served as the Recorder of York.

The interior displays Georgian architecture with Corinthian columns, classical busts on stairwell walls, and ornate plasterwork throughout multiple rooms.

The building functions as a Masonic Lodge, with an extension added in 1920 by architects Ward and Leckenby to accommodate ceremonial activities.

The basement retains original vaulted cellars, including a preserved ventilated door and kitchen fireplace from the eighteenth century.
