House, No. 112, until recently the Red Lion public house, was built in the 16th century as a timber-framed structure with a gable to Micklegate, possibly jettied. In the 18th century it was refronted with brick and the roof hipped back; c. 1860–70 the front was refenestrated, with a large shop window to ground floor, a bay window to first floor and one sash replacing two above. This was an ancient property of the Vicars Choral of York Minster and the leases show that it was partly rebuilt between 1745 and 1748 (York Minster Library, Sub-Chanter's Book 3, 75).

The house is of three storeys, built in two bays with a chimney against the back wall. Some of the timber framing is exposed inside, with curved braces rising from the posts to rails and wall-plates.

The original roof is almost intact. The truss to N. has principal rafters and a straight tie-beam; curved struts from tie to rafters support the purlins. The central truss is carried on great posts, their heads not enlarged, supporting a markedly cambered tie-beam; curved braces from each post support the tie-beam. The principals are connected by a collar; from the tie curved braces, morticed into the collar, support purlins under the principals. The S. truss vanished when the roof was hipped, but a good series of common rafters remains, all with collars.

This 3 storeyed building is probably originally of the 16th century date and is a grade 2 Listed Building. The frontage to Micklegate is 3 storeys, timber-framed, built in 2 bays, with a fireplace and chimney located on the rear internal wall.

The street elevation is now clad in painted brickwork but much of the original timber framing is exposed and visible internally, with curved braces fixed to the heads of the vertical frames connecting to the original oak rails and wall plates. To the rear of the original 3 storey timber frames structure is a two storey load-bearing brick building with a blue slate pitched roof of a much more recent date. The original roof gable truss fronting Micklegate was removed during past alteration works when a slated hipped roof was inserted on the Micklegate frontage. However, the remaining truss to the rear is almost intact, with impressive principal rafters, straight tie beam and curved struts.
