Description
Clyde Place House, built in 1878, is a manufacturing and commercial building that served as a model lodging house from 1883 to after 1927, with ground floor shops and a public house. It is a four-storey structure with a basement and attic, measuring 15 by eight bays. The facades facing Clyde Place and Centre Street are made of ashlar with pilaster piers, while the rear is constructed of brick.
The street-facing elevation features ground floor shopfronts that are now blocked between timber-clad cast-iron columns. The upper floors have recessed bays between timber piers, and the aprons of the second floor are ornately carved. A main dentil cornice runs along the top, and octagonal pinnacles that once capped each pair of bays now only survive at the corners.
The rear of the building is plain brick, with sets of blocked triple lights and the gable of a demolished neighboring structure. A later lift tower has been added at the southwest corner. The roof is flat with mansard slopes on the sides, which were likely originally slated and featured larger skylights. Windows rise with a weather vane, and there is a cobbled wharf with small mooring posts on timber piles.
