4 and 6, Clarence Street

4 and 6 Clarence Street are a pair of large townhouses, built between 1832 and 1833, which have since been converted into offices. They were part of the development of Clarence Street by builder William Rees. The buildings have undergone some alterations in the late 20th century. They are constructed of stuccoed brick with slate roofs and feature a double-depth block with short rear wings, originally designed as a mirror image pair.

The exterior consists of three storeys, basements, and attics. Each house has a symmetrical front with seven bays, where the end bays are slightly recessed and the three central bays slightly project. The former basement areas have been infilled, while the ground floor is rusticated, featuring a strip pilaster at each end and a raised band at the first-floor level. The three central bays are defined by a giant order of four Ionic pilasters, with giant pilasters at each end that have moulded imposts at the second-floor level. A raised band and a crowning entablature with a mutilated cornice complete the upper part of the facade. Above the three central bays, there is a pediment with mutilated eaves and coped parapets on either side.

The entrance doorways to each former house are located in the second and sixth bays, accessed by three stone steps. The door frames are recessed in openings with moulded architrave surrounds, accompanied by side and transom lights. In the three central bays between the doorways and in the end bays, there are sashes with glazing bars (3x4 panes). The first floor features five tall sashes, while the second floor has five shorter sashes, all with glazing bars (3x4 panes) and set in openings with projecting stone sills. The former iron railings to the front areas have been removed. The interior has not been inspected.
