Walter Green Penty

Walter Green Penty (19 June 1852 – 23 January 1902) was an architect working in York, England, and the father of Arthur Penty (1875–1937) and (born 1879), both architects. He was born in Gate Fulford.^[1]^{[better source needed]}

Penty's first commission was the in Heworth, York. He also designed the new pub at the junction of and Terrace in the 1870s. A previous pub with that name on that site appears on the 1852 Ordnance Survey map of York. He designed Botterill's Horse Repository in Tanner's Moat (of which two arches survive) around 1880. This was a sort of 'garage' for horses of gentlemen who had ridden into the city to stay, possibly to go on the railway.^[2] In the 1890s, Arthur joined his father to form the firm of Penty & Penty. Among other works, they built the Terry Memorial almshouses in Skeldergate in 1899, and a number of streets in the Clementhorpe area of York, before Arthur left the city to work in London.^[3]
