'''73, 75 and 77 Low Petergate''' is a terrace of late Mediaeval buildings in [[York]], in England.
The terrace was constructed in the late-16th century, and originally consisted of four houses.  Each is of three stories with an attic, and each storey is [[jettying|jettied]] over the one below.  They are timber-framed throughout, and this is largely exposed inside the upper floors.  In each building, part of the original staircase from the second floor to the attic survives.  In 75, a large chimney breast with two hearths survives.<ref name="inventory">{{cite book |title=An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in City of York, Volume 5, Central |date=1981 |publisher=HMSO |location=London |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/york/vol5/pp180-199 |accessdate=7 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="historic">{{NHLE |desc=73, 75 AND 77, LOW PETERGATE |num=1257419 |accessdate=19 May 2021}}</ref>
The street fronts are rendered with [[stucco]], with incisions designed to make it resemble [[ashlar]].  73 and 77 have original [[gable]]s, while 75 has twin gables which were added in the 17th century.  Various extensions have been added to the rear of the terrace, with the largest addition being to 73.<ref name="inventory" /><ref name="historic" />
The houses lie on [[Low Petergate]], one of the most important streets in the city centre, now a major shopping street.<ref name="inventory" />  In the 19th century, the ground floors were converted into three shops, and the shop front of 77 survives, while the others were further altered in the 20th century.<ref name="historic" />  With the later house at 71 Low Petergate, and the earlier ones at 79 and 81 Low Petergate, they form a lengthy range of timber-framed buildings which [[Nikolaus Pevsner]] described as "impressive".<ref name="inventory" /><ref name="pevsner">{{cite book |last1=Pevsner |first1= Nikolaus |authorlink= Nikolaus Pevsner |title=Yorkshire: York and the East Riding |date=1995 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=0300095937 |pages=220&ndash;224}}</ref>  The terrace has been [[Grade II* listed]] since 1954.<ref name="historic" />
