Nos.20-34 Clarence Place (evens)

This range of shops, offices, and accommodation was built in the early 20th century as part of a commercial development. It is an 8-bay, 4-storey building constructed of brick and ashlar. Numbers 20, 22, and 24 have entrances designed to resemble domestic properties, while the remaining units have shopfronts. The design is generally symmetrical and consistent across all units. The windows are largely plate glass sashes, although some have been replaced, and are set within moulded surrounds. Each unit features a 3-window arrangement. The first floor windows are particularly elaborate, with heavy Gibbs surrounds and keystones; the central window is distinguished by an elaborate entablature, a deep keystone, and a broken pediment. The second floor windows have moulded aprons to the two outer windows. The egg and dart cornice continues from the adjacent building at numbers 10-18 Clarence Place, and the dividing pilasters are similar, although the Ionic capitals are slightly simpler. Decorative carved panels adorn the pilasters on the top storey, which is topped by a plain cornice and a high parapet concealing the roof. At ground floor level, the three right-hand units are set below a deep band and feature round-arched doorways with Gibbs surrounds, along with two windows accentuated by prominent keystones. Most of the shopfronts have been remodelled, although traces of the original design remain on the left-hand end, visible in the 6-panelled doors and 6-pane overlights.

The building is an integral part of the early 20th-century commercial development and is listed for its group value with numbers 10-18 Clarence Place, the Technical Institute, and the War Memorial.
