The oldest part of the building faces onto Stonegate. It was built in the early 15th century as a three-storey, three-bay building. It may have been constructed by Thomas Doncaster, who leased the site from the Archdeacon of Richmond in 1423, but was not asked to pay rent, suggesting that he was improving the site. Both the upper floors were jettied, to Stonegate and to Little Stonegate, but the top floor was cut back, probably in the 18th century, in line with the first floor. The wing facing Little Stonegate was constructed as a separate house in about 1500, originally two storeys, but with a third, jettied, storey added in the 17th century. In about 1600, the building facing Stonegate was extended to the rear, filling the angle between the two buildings.1256509 13, Stonegate II* 16 August 2023An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in City of York, Volume 5, Central 1981 HMSO London https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/york/vol5/pp220-235 7 August 2020 The internal arrangement was altered over the years, and by the 19th century, it formed three tenements, each with its own staircase.
