19, Crown Passage

19 Crown Passage is a house built around 1730. It is two windows wide, three storeys tall, with a basement and attic. The ground floor features a Victorian shop front, while the upper floors are faced in yellow stock bricks with red window arches made of gauged red brick. The roof is slate, and the original windows have been replaced with tall casements. Inside, particularly on the upper three floors, there is much original joinery, including fielded panelling, box cornices, fireplace surrounds (some with later Georgian grates), and doors. The winder staircase has turned balusters and columnar newels, along with dado panelling.

Historically, Crown Passage, which was formerly known as Golden Lion Court, has been in existence since at least 1680 and became well-known for its coffee houses and public houses. The earliest lease for this house, held by Lock & Co., dates back to 1732 and described it as one of five small properties under the same ownership. It later became part of the Red Cow public house. In the early 19th century, it was occupied by multiple families, and from 1881, it was used as a marine store dealer, similar to a rag and bone shop. This house pairs with the already listed No 18 Crown Passage and is recognized as a rare surviving example of an artisanal house from the early Georgian period in St James's, retaining much of its internal features.
