History . Construction . 11 Coronation Street was built along with the rest of the Coronation Street terraces between 1900 and 1902 . The two - level Victorian house was completed on 8th August 1902 and its first residents , the Makepiece family , moved in on 9th August . The original layout of the house consisted of a front parlour , hallway , back room and scullery on the ground floor , three bedrooms on the upper floor , and an outside toilet and coal hole in the back yard . Modifications . No big changes were made until the 1960s . As Elsie Tanner was friendly with Len Fairclough , Len did a few jobs on the cheap for her , including the installation of a new fireplace in the living room , decoration of the front parlour , and the conversion of one of the bedrooms into a bathroom . Elsie ' s biggest home improvement was a modernisation of the ground floor in late 1969 after she bought the house from Alfred Wormold : the kitchen facilities in the main living room were moved to the scullery , which was converted into a full kitchen , while the living room was redecorated . Other changes made by Elsie include the changing of the locks to protect the house against bailiffs , the installation of a new pink bathroom suite , and two ceiling repair jobs in Elsie ' s bedroom : the first took place when Charlie Moffitt put his foot through the ceiling while laying flex in the neighbour loft , while the second was when neighbour Hilda Ogden bashed it with a broom handle in retaliation for Suzie Birchall damaging her ceiling . In 1980 , No . 11 was fire damaged when Elsie fell asleep with her cigarette still alight , and the living room sofa caught fire . Elsie was lifted out of the house by Stan and Hilda Ogden and Stan and Ken Barlow put the fire out . The house changed hands four times during the 1980s but none of them made any big changes ; Bill Webster repaired the rotten wood shortly before putting in an offer to buy the house in 1984 , while Audrey Roberts operated a hair salon in the front parlour of the house for a short time in 1986 . The next long - term residents were the McDonalds , who decorated the living room ( and presumably the rest of the house ) after moving into the house in 1989 . Jim McDonald developed plan for an extension in the backyard in 1991 but shelved the plans when Liz gave birth to Katie prematurely and the baby died . In 1998 , the house was altered to make it wheelchair - friendly when Jim was paralysed after falling off scaffolding although he later recovered . The living room was redecorated in 1994 and 2000 . The latter decoration was by Gwen Davies , Jim ' s girlfriend , who also replaced all of his furniture without his knowledge . When he found out she was being chased by debt collectors , he threw the new furniture in the Street and set fire to it . Eileen Grimshaw has lived at No . 11 since 2001 but she had yet to make any major home improvements , other than the decoration of the living room which took place in 2006 and 2013 , the latter one by fiancé Paul Kershaw
