25 and 27, Crosby Row

This is a pair of town houses, part of a terrace, dating to circa 1770-80 and refenestrated in the mid-19th century. The houses are constructed of brick in Flemish bond, with a parapeted roof, slate of which is visible to No. 27. They are three storeys high, with two windows to each property.

No. 25 has all its ground floor windows with flat arches, while the upper floor windows have cambered arches. All lintels are of gauged brick, and there's a stucco plinth. The front door is of late 18th or early 19th century design, featuring an architrave and a cornice supported by a pair of console brackets. The ground floor window is larger than the upper floor windows and is not aligned with them. No. 27 is similar except for the ground floor, which has a complete mid-19th century shop front, including an entablature, fascia with label stops at the party walls depicting fox heads, original shop window sashes, double doors to the centre, and a single door at the right party wall, all aligned with the original entrance hall.

The interior of No. 27 retains a full-height stairwell to the rear, located on the north side. The dogleg staircase between the first and second floors is original, and features a newel in the form of an Ionic column, plain balusters, and a thick handrail. Late 18th or early 19th century panelling is present in the lower stairwell.

These buildings do not appear on Rocque's map of circa 1761. Based on the surviving windows with nearly flush sash boxes, a date of 1770-80 seems most likely.
