York Historic Environment Record

Level 1 Building recording of The Lodge, a late 19th century Victorian Gothic building located on Peckitt Street in York. It forms part of the former fire station site at no. 18 Clifford Street and was used as administrative offices up until the closure and relocation of the fire station in 2014. As originally constructed, the Lodge comprised a sizeable dwelling with multiple reception rooms, bedrooms, and additional spaces for services and servants. It is a typical example of a Victorian Gothic style house with decorative external features and a clear spatial hierarchy. Positioned on the river frontage, it is likely to have been home to a wealthy middle class family.
