9 And 11, Old Queen Street Sw1

Nos 9 and 11 Old Queen Street are a pair of terraced town houses built around 1690 to 1700. The ground floors were altered in the mid-19th century with the addition of small shop windows and were further "restored" in a Neo-Georgian style in the late 1970s. The houses are constructed of brown brick with tiled roofs and stand three storeys high with dormered attics. Each house features three windows across the front. The ground floors have restored doorways on the right, which include panelled doors set in wooden doorcases with shaped brackets supporting cornice-hoods, while the left side has Neo-Georgian shop windows. The upper floors have nearly flush framed sash windows with red brick dressings, all set under flat gauged red brick arches. There are brick plat bands over the first floor and below the parapet, which has coping. The rear elevations remain unaltered and feature gabled ends with three-storey closet wings. Inside, No 9 retains a dog leg cut string staircase with twisted balusters, and No 11 has a similar staircase along with panelling on the first floor, in the stairwell, and in the passage hall. These houses are a rare example of buildings from this period that have not been subsequently heightened.
