This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the oval staircase in no. 23 High Petergate, York. With a detailed view from the ground floor looking up, one cannot help but be mesmerized by its grandeur and elegance. Dating back to around 1779, this former Georgian house holds a rich history within its walls. Attached to it is a carriage house built during the late 19th century, adding another layer of charm to this architectural gem. The front of the house boasts three storeys and four bays, with an eye-catching Corinthian doorcase framing a door on the left bay. However, it is undoubtedly the oval staircase that steals the show. Its spiral design gracefully ascends towards higher floors while being illuminated by a lantern suspended from above. As you gaze at this photograph, you can't help but appreciate every intricate detail captured by George Bernard Wood's lens. The round window at the top adds an extra touch of uniqueness to this already remarkable composition. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us how architecture can transcend time and captivate generations with its timeless beauty.
