Clara Place is a garden square in Topsham, Devon. It was built in 1841 and is Grade II* listed.[1]
Architecture
The square is composed of a three-sided courtyard of three blocks, each of three houses.[2] The fourth side faces the road, with central steps up from the road and iron railings, which also date from 1841 and are Grade II* listed.[3] Each block is headed by a central pediment with the central block higher than the others at three storeys.[2]
Clara Place is one of the only Victorian examples of Topsham's notable historic buildings.[4]
History
Clara Place was built in 1841 on the former site of the Topsham workhouse.[5] The garden square was developed by William Clapp, who named it after his wife Clara.[6]
According to Nikolaus Pevsner, Clara Place was described as "a neat building ... for the accommodation of decent folks".[7]
