Description
East Parade Chambers, located at 10 and 11 East Parade, are office buildings dating from 1899, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The facade is made of yellow terracotta (faience) and features a slate roof, along with wrought-iron railings and a gate. The structure has three storeys, a basement, and an attic, organized into three bays. The central entrance bay is narrower, with a slightly projecting porch and a deeply recessed doorway. This bay is adorned with octagonal shafts that rise to a shaped gable, which includes a date panel and a small pediment.
On the ground floor, there are flanking three-light plate-glass windows, while the first floor features canted wooden bay windows. The second floor has arcaded windows with moulded arches supported by squat Ionic columns. The building is further enhanced by flanking octagonal shafts, a modillion eaves cornice, and a parapet with scrolled recesses and a moulded cornice. The basement is enclosed by moulded square-section piers topped with pyramid caps, and the elaborate railings include scrolled panels and pointed and bud finials. The gate to the left features bars, dog bars, and curved rails.
The interior was not inspected, but a directory from 1901 indicates that the premises housed the National Fire Assurance Company of Ireland, The Law Accident Assurance Company, two solicitors, two barristers, and a chartered accountant.
