| Mansion House |
The elegant Georgian house in St Helen's Square near to the main Post Office is York Mansion House, home to the city's Lord Mayor during their year in office since the early 18th century.
The foundation stone for this fine example of early Georgian architecture was laid in 1725 and the building completed seven years later.
The Mansion House houses the civic plate, a collection of silver and mementoes.
The house is not normally open to the public except when the Lord Mayor holds at homes', although tours can be arranged in advance by contacting the Civic Office.
