Description
Clarence House is a Grade I listed town mansion located at the west end of St. James's Palace in the City of Westminster. It was built between 1825 and 1827 by John Nash for the Duke of Clarence, who later became King William IV. The building was enlarged in 1873 and underwent alterations in the 20th century. It features a stucco façade and slate roofs, standing four storeys high with a basement.
The elevation facing Stable Yard has nine windows, while the side facing the grounds and St. James's Park has seven windows and a central canted bay. There is an entrance portico in Stable Yard. The windows are recessed glazing-bar sashes set in shallow architrave surrounds, with the first-floor windows being semicircular arched and featuring inset balustrades. Additional architectural details include sill courses, a dentil cornice above the second floor, and a balustraded parapet. The interior has been significantly altered over time. For details regarding the garden walls and other features, refer to St. James's Palace on St. James's Street.
