Cumberland House is a grade I listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The house lies on King's Staith, overlooking the River Ouse. While the basement is accessed from King's Staith, because the street frequently floods, the house's main entrance is on Cumberland Street. It was built in about 1710 by William Cornwell, an industrialist who subsequently became Lord Mayor of York. The house itself acquired its name in the 1740s, with the Prince William, Duke of Cumberland supposedly having stayed there on 23 July 1746, following his victory at the Battle of Culloden.
