Description
No. 19 Curzon Street is a terraced town house built around 1750-1760. It features brown brick construction and a slate roof, rising four storeys with a basement and a dormered mansard. The façade is three windows wide, with a doorway on the left that has a panelled door and a fanlight set within an architrave case. This doorway is flanked by engaged Ionic columns that support a dentil pediment. The recessed sash windows have stucco architraves, and those on the first floor may have original painted stone pulvinated friezes and cornices. There is a plat band and sill band on the first floor, and a moulded painted stone cornice above the second floor. The building has a parapet with coping and wrought iron area railings featuring pine-cone finials and scrollwork lampholders.
This house was the residence of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, from 1880 until his death in 1881, as noted by a plaque from the London County Council. The interior has been significantly altered but still retains a wrought iron scrollwork balustrade on the staircase, panelled shutters, and doorcases in the front room on the first floor, along with some cornices. The work attributed to the architect John Soane in 1802 may refer to alterations at No. 19, but it is possible that this reference pertains to No. 18 due to renumbering.
