Description
Crown House is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered building located on Groton Street, Groton. The ground storey is faced with red brick. The roof is tiled, featuring a ridge chimney stack with sawtooth shafts, and has small gables at each end of the front elevation. The building is two stories high and has a three-window range of double-hung sash windows with vertical glazing bars. Group value derives from it being a good example of a vernacular building of the period.
