This pair of semi-detached houses (which appear to pre-date much of the mid-nineteenth century Gothic development that followed the erection of the Crystal Palace) had been derelict for some years at the time of the picture. The buildings are grade II listed (https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/heritage-at-risk/search-register/list-entry/1378925 ). The sign announced a sale by auction some three days prior to taking the photograph; it remains to be seen if this will lead to renovation or to demolition in order to squeeze in a block of flats.
