architecture was not the only influence on York’s architects
during the Colonial Period. English architecture also had a
major influence. The earliest type of English architecture to be
used in York was English Colonial Style. A balanced façade,
central hall, attic, and corner fireplaces are all features of
this style. In York, the General Gates
House, which stands adjacent
to the Plough Tavern, and the William Willis House are both fine
examples of this style, with the former incorporating stone
construction and the latter utilizing brick construction.
