Statement of Cultural Heritage Significance:

Statement of Significance The row of three terrace houses, Clarendon Terrace, at 208-212 Clarendon Street, was erected in 1856-57 by Robert Huckson for Charles Lister, a wine and spirit merchant and brewer. The architect was Osgood Pritchard. The building was later owned by the Marks family who were jewellers and opticians in Elizabeth Street. The two storey brick and stucco facade is dominated by a corinthian pediment. This is one of Melbourne's grandest terraces. It is one of East Melbourne's oldest terraces and an important work of the architect Osgood Pritchard. The conservative classical style composition with the giant corinthian portico is most unusual and highly important. The semi-circular arched entrance porches and first floor window mouldings and the parapet finials to the portico are particularly notable. It is an outstanding feature of the East Melbourne area and a fine example of a distinctive Melbourne building type. The cast iron palisade fence is compatible with the terrace.
