(Updated March 2022) A view of Crowley House, facing the Thames on the present site of Greenwich Power Station. Begun in 1647 by the royalist London merchant (Sir) Andrew Cogan, it was one of several grand houses replacing earlier ones east of the former Greenwich Palace site (now that of the Old Royal Naval College). It was sold in 1651 to the Regicide MP, Gregory Clement, who completed it but was executed in 1660. George Bouwerman, who then occupied it to 1677, held a contract from Charles II to ballast Navy ships from Ballast Quay, to the east, and in 1704 his successor, Nicholas Cook, sold it to the Newcastle ironfounder, Sir Ambrose Crowley, who immediately added a warehouse on its eastern side.

Owned by the Millington family from 1805 they put it on the market in the early 1850s but failed to find a buyer: the adjoining warehouse was demolished in 1853/4 and the House in May 1855. The site was later used for stables and a depot for horse-trams until cleared for the construction of Greenwich Power station (from 1906).
