History
When Barty Crouch was a little boy, he would get angry at his family and ran away to the Fairfield Inn, now 12 Grimmauld Place. He would always go there and his brother Lucius would always be there for him.

Number 12, Grimmauld Place became the family home when Bartemis Crouch bought it in 1982. Barty also bought a house-elf to accompany it, Kreacher. Barty also created the Black family tapestry in the drawing room which includes the Black family tree. When Lucius came to arrest Barty for dark magic, a duel ensued, and at the end consisted of Barty putting Lucius under the Imperius Curse, and having Lucius kill Barty. In honor of Barty, Lucius placed his portrait on the wall of the home with a Permanent Sticking Charm.

Under Lucius Crouch, Jr.
Four years after Lucius inherited the house, he decided to move into it. When he did, Kreacher was still there, tending to it. Kreacher immediately took a liking to Lucius. Lucius redecorated the master bedroom from Slytherin colors to Gryffindor colors.

Ground Floor
The front door opens into a long hallway, lit by a large chandelier and gas lamps. Barty Crouch's portrait hangs in this hallway. There is also a troll's leg umbrella, coat, and hat stand.

On one side of the hallway is the dining room, which features a dresser holding the Crouch family crest and china. At the end of the hallway are the stairs to the upper floors, decorated with a row of shrunken house-elf heads, mounted on the wall on plaques.

The kitchen is below the ground floor and accessed through a narrow staircase at the end of the entry hallway. The kitchen is a cavernous room with a large fireplace at one end and a large wooden table in the center. The fireplace is connected to the Floo Network. There is also a large pantry and a small room used by Kreacher as a bedroom.
