The Wakeman's House, Grade II* listed house in Market Place, Ripon, England.
The Wakeman's House stands with timber framing, stone slate roof, and features oriel windows on both its main floors in Market Place.
Originally constructed in the early 1600s facing High Skellgate, the building underwent modifications to face Market Square, with only one wing remaining from the original structure.
The building reflects the architectural preferences and construction methods of 17th-century Yorkshire through its preserved timber frame and traditional craftsmanship.
Located in central Ripon's Market Place, the building has served multiple functions, including a museum, tea shop, tourist center, and dress shop over the years.
Local residents in the 1920s reported seeing an apparition in an upstairs window during the reopening ceremony following the building's restoration.
