ISLINGTON
TQ3183NE CROSS STREET 635-1/59/1034 (North side) No.24 (Even) and attached railings
GV II
Terraced house, shown on map of 1735, facade altered mid or late C19 when adapted to industrial use and with rear workshops of no special interest. Red brick, three storeys, attic and basement; three bays wide. Two rooms per floor. Ground floor and basement given new frontages with folding doors. Upper floors retain original openings under gauged brick heads and original shutters; rear elevation retains curved window heads with nineteenth-century sashes in original exposed boxes. C19 double-doors under square top light at left of main facade lead to Interior. Entrance hall with heavy modillion cornice, pilasters to opening into broader stairwell hall with similar cornice detail. Original staircase the full height of the building, open string from ground-floor to second floor with carved tread-ends and turned balusters (two per step) of unusual elaboration with square bands and incised turned pattern to largest knops; closed string stair to attic floor with simpler, rather massive, turned balusters. Ground floor rooms said to retain original cornices and perhaps some panelling beneath false ceilings and later coverings. First floor retains more elaborate modillion and dentil cornice to front room and dado panelling to both; rear room with original cupboard, its door on long hinges, in alcove next to chimney breast. Second floor simpler with some dado panelling and cupboard. Two cupboards in attic.
