Residence 6

Residence 6 at the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard is an officers' house built between 1830 and 1831 by G L Taylor, the architect for the Navy Board. The building is constructed of stuccoed brick and features two rear lateral stacks and a slate hipped roof, reflecting a late Georgian style. It has a single-depth plan and is attached to the left of the guard house.

The exterior is two stories high with a three-window range, showcasing a symmetrical front that includes a plat band, cornice, and parapet. The central door is surrounded by pilasters leading to an entablature, with a double panelled door and overlight, and 4/4-pane sash windows. The rear elevation is window-less.

Inside, there is a central staircase along with some original plasterwork and joinery. Historically, the building has served as the Inspector of Police's house and is part of a symmetrical layout that includes a flanking archway and other officers' houses. The navy typically housed senior yard officers on site. Although Clarence is less grand and more altered than the Royal William Yard in Devonport, it remains significant as one of the first large industrial food processing plants in the country, highlighting the extensive scale of the navy's victualling operations.
