Treasurer's House 

A notice to workers at treasurer's House

For many centuries this was the home of the medieval Treasurers of York Minster. The house was built on top of a Roman road and legend has it that the House is haunted by Roman soldiers who still march along the road beneath. You can find out more on a cellar tour, if you dare! Behind the 17th century facade of Dutch gables lies the work of a remarkable Yorkshireman, Mr Frank Green; a Victorian industrialist and patron of the arts. After Mr Green bought the house in 1897 he created a series of period rooms as a setting for his fine collection of antique furniture. He was rather a perfectionist, specifying exactly where each piece of furniture should stand with stud-marks in the floor, which are still there today!
