Drake House (formerly Homethorpe block 3) was a 17 storey tower block in the Orchard Park Estate in North Hull.

Drake House was convenient for shopping, public transport and school. All of these things were nearby.

Those who occupied Drake House were mainly the elderly or parents with children, considering the fact that a lot was nearby.

It was 51m tall, and demolished on 14th July 2002 with 2 Milldane blocks, it was the shortest block in the Homethorpe cluster and on Orchard Park Estate.
