12, Clare Street

No. 12 Clare Street is an attached office building dating from the late 18th century, likely designed by Thomas Paty. The exterior features a rendered surface with limestone dressings and a pantile mansard roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the late Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with an attic and a three-window range. The ground floor includes a 20th-century plate-glass shop front, framed by paired fascia consoles and a cornice, with pilasters above leading to a cornice that projects forward over them and a parapet. The windows have architraves and include horned 6/6-pane sashes, along with two casement dormers. The interior has been largely remodelled in the late 20th century. Originally, this building was part of a terrace designed by Paty that included Nos 10-14.
