Maister House

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A brick-built 18th century merchant's house on High street in Hull. The house is a living reminder of Hull's prosperity as a centre of shipping and commerce during the 18th century. The building is currently used as offices, so only the grand plasterwork and the front hall can be visited.

Maister's House was built in 1743 for Henry Maiseter, by archtect Joseph Page. At the time it was typcal of many merchant's House of the period, but now it is one of very few surviving houses from that period. The highlight of the interior is the ornate stone staircase with iron balustrade. Maister's House has probably the most architecturally significant interior in Hull, and, indeed, one of the finest 18th century interiors in the country. The house was damaged by bombs in WWII, but has since been remodelled.
