Nos.10-18 Clarence Place (evens)

This is a group of shops, offices, and upper-floor accommodation forming a three-story, six-bay range, including a prominent entrance bay. The building was constructed with brick and stone facing, and has a replaced machine-tile roof with modest, corniced brick stacks. The asymmetrical design is intended to include an end bay on the right to match number 18 on the left. Pilasters rise from the first through the second floor, defining each bay; the shopfronts have been remodelled and all windows are horned sashes with multipane upper lights and plate glass lower sashes. The entrance bay, located off-centre to the right, is constructed of rusticated ashlar and features a segmental arched parapet incorporating a cartouche. It has a round-arched window on the second floor and a two-light window on the first floor, both flanked by enriched Ionic pilasters, with an extended keystone. The ground floor entrance is sheltered by a bracketed hood supported on giant pilasters. Bays to each side and the end on the left feature a three-window range of sashes with eared and shouldered surrounds; the second floor has aprons to the side windows and carved panels with swags at the centre, an egg and dart cornice, and a balustraded parapet. The intervening bays, specifically the first and fifth from the right, also have a three-window range of similar sashes, but the central second-floor window is decorated with an entablature, set under a swept segmental-arched gable with a small pierced light. This gable is flanked by piers with orbs, terminating the balustrade above the dividing pilasters.
