Grange Estate - Crathorne House, Oak Lane, East Finchley
Grange Estate - Crathorne House, Oak Lane, East Finchley
Crathorne House is one of 3 remaining red-brick flat roof type blocks in original condition on the estate, apart from recent double glazing. All the others gained an extra level of flats with lead roofing, the first blocks were modified in 1989-1990 followed by Foskett House and Vane House in 1993. The perforated brickwork on the 4th floor is for the airing room which was used for drying tenants' laundry. These flat-roof blocks were completed after the war between 1946-1951; Crathorne House was one of the last blocks to be completed in 1951. The first blocks were built in 1938 (Craven House was the first) and are of brown brick/pitched roof construction.
