King'S Chambers

King's Chambers is a building constructed around 1905, designed in a style similar to H Fuller Clarke. It features a combination of ceramic brick, plain red brick, Portland stone, polished granite, and a slate roof, representing the original Edwardian Free Style design for offices.

The building stands three storeys tall with an attic storey. It has six windows facing St Clement's Lane and five windows facing Portugal Street, with the corner developed into a cupolared tower. The St Clement's Lane front includes a secondary doorway to the left, set into an ashlar wall face, which has a drip mould-cornice and a lay-light with glazing bars above. There are two large office windows and a single window, all with flat stone mullions and transoms that are flush with the ashlar wall, along with glazed stall risers that illuminate the basement.

The main entrance, located at the centre of the Portugal Street front, features a large round-arched niche lined in green mosaic. It displays Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau lettering in gold that reads "KINGS CHAMBERS" on the semi-dome. The entrance includes a panelled and glazed door with a fanlight that follows the curve of the niche, accompanied by curved plate glass side windows. The niche is framed by a large broken segmental pediment that rises from granite piers and encompasses the central light of a tripartite window with Ionic columns on the first floor. Two office windows flank the entrance niche on the ground floor, sharing similar detailing to those on the return.

The upper floors and attic storey are accented by through storey canted bay windows. The attic storey is faced in green ceramic brick and rises from a bold stone cornice to a secondary cornice with a pediment in the parapet. The corner splay of the attic between the canted bays features an oculus, and above the parapet, the combination of the canted bays and corner splay creates a "tower" crowned by a lead cupola.

This building is part of an interesting island block development of chambers alongside Nos 2 and 4 Portugal Street.
