Description
11 Princelet Street is a terrace house built in 1719, with significant external rebuilding in the mid-20th century. The front is made of painted stock brick and features concrete lintels, along with a modern shopfront on the ground floor. A ceramic plaque on the front commemorates the opening of the Tower Hamlets Training Forum in 1986. The flat roof is not visible behind the parapet. The rear elevation has also been largely rebuilt, although part of the original west return remains intact.
Inside, the interior has been largely altered, but it still retains the original closed string staircase that runs from the ground to the second floor. This staircase features panelling to the dado, square newel posts, a moulded handrail, and baluster and vase uprights.
The building's lease, dated June 1719, was granted to Daniel Bray, a citizen and painter of London. By 1724, the house was occupied by a clergyman, likely the minister of the French Church in Brown's Lane, which bordered the back garden of 11 Princelet Street. The house is listed due to the high quality of its surviving staircase.
