York Assembly Rooms were built by public subscription and completed in 1735. The assembly rooms were intended for dancing and other social activities and was most probably the earliest neo-classical building in Europe, based on Palladio’s interpretation of Roman architecture, rather than his own buildings. The original façade was the work of the 3rd Earl of Burlington but replaced in 1828. The building now operates as an Italian restaurant and is open to the public and tours.
