No purpose-built home for a Lord Mayor survives from earlier than the Mansion House in York, which predates its London namesake by at least twenty years. It remains the working residence of the Lord Mayors of York during their term in office, and it is also run as a historic house museum.
The house is built in an early Georgian style. Its foundation stone was laid in 1725 and the building was completed in 1732. Its architect is unknown, though the frontage may be the work of William Etty. It is a Grade I listed building, the highest category of protection for historic buildings in England.
The Mansion House stands in St Helen's Square in the city centre, where Coney Street and Lendal meet.
