The Dairies are a pair of historic buildings on the Castle Howard estate, in North Yorkshire, in England.
The east house is the older of the two, designed by John Vanbrugh and completed in about 1720, with various later alterations. The western house, incorporating a coach house, was constructed in the early 19th century and was later used for farm storage. Llewellyn Hall describes the east house as "a pretty building picturesquely placed", in a hollow by a lake. The estate maintained a dairy herd through the centuries, until 2000. The east house was grade II listed in 1949, and upgraded to grade II* in 1987, when the west house was listed at grade II.
The east house, with two pavilions and a connecting wall to the left, were designed by John Vanbrugh, and are in sandstone. The house has a moulded cornice, a low parapet with urns on the corners, and a Welsh slate roof. There are two storeys and three bays. The doorway has an architrave, a decorated pulvinated frieze, and a moulded pediment on consoles. The windows are sashes in architraves, with stepped keystones. The adjacent pavilion has one storey and three bays, and has casement windows and a hipped roof. The connecting wall is coped, and contains a doorway with a flat arch, and the end pavilion has two storeys, a single bay, casement windows and a hipped roof. At the rear is a Venetian window and a pediment.
The west house and coach house are in limestone under a hipped Westmorland slate roof. The coach house to the left has two storeys and six bays, and contains a blind arcade with round arches and an impost band. The doorway has a fanlight, and the windows have fixed lights. The house has two storeys and two bays, and overhanging eaves. The round-arched doorway has a rusticated surround and a fanlight, and the windows are sashes.
