Background
History
Clara Place was built in 1841 on the former site of the Topsham workhouse. The garden square was developed by William Clapp, who named it after his wife Clara. According to Nikolaus Pevsner, Clara Place was described as "a neat building... for the accommodation of decent folks".
Architecture
The square is composed of a three-sided courtyard of three blocks, each of three houses. 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. Each block is headed by a central pediment with the central block higher than the others at three storeys.
