Bethany Christadelphian Home

The Bethany Christadelphian Home is a large house, built between 1836 and 1837, and subsequently altered. It was designed by William Startin. The exterior is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco facades, and has a Welsh slate roof.

The house is three storeys high with a basement, and has four windows on the first floor. A bay to the left is recessed and slightly angled. The facade features a plinth, pilasters with recessed panels, giant Doric pilasters, pilaster strips from the first-floor band to the left bay, a frieze, cornice, and a low parapet. The first floor has a 10-pane casement window to the left bay, and elsewhere 6/6 sash windows with tooled architraves and aprons. Cornices are present to the second and fourth windows, with a pediment incorporating acanthus consoles above the third window. The second floor has 3/6 sash windows. The ground floor has a glazed double door leading to the left bay, an inserted multi-pane window to the left, and otherwise 6/9 sashes with friezes and cornices. There are side stacks.

The right return facade has three storeys and three first-floor windows, with paired Tuscan pilasters to the ends. The first floor has a central 6/9 sash window between 6/6 sashes, which have architraves, cornices and aprons. The second floor has 3/6 sashes. The ground floor includes a 6/6 sash window in the centre, where an entrance once stood, and two tripartite windows with 6/9 sashes between 2/3 sashes flanking them, with architraves of Tuscan pilasters, laurel-wreath friezes and cornices.

Inside, the staircase is characterised by tapering rod-on-bobbin balusters. Part of a modillion cornice remains in the hall, and there are elaborate moulded cornices to the front rooms on the ground floor. A dogleg service staircase features stick balusters.

The house was originally built as part of a proposed Arbenie Crescent, and Clarendon Place was laid out in 1825.
