28 Linenhall Street & 13-23 Clarence Street was first built in the late 1800s as part of a larger complex of linen warehouses. The building was acquired by Mr C. Hill in 1985 and in 1987 works were carried out to convert the building to office use. RPP Architects oversaw the works that included: removal of non-original render from external facades; new corrugated tin roof; new mezzanine level and staircases, and; demolition and replacement of the Linenhall St facade with curtain glazing. On completion of the redevelopment works in 1987 the building was named Clarence Gallery let to RPP Architects. The building owner Mr C. Hill retained a section at 17-19 Clarence Street for a photography studio.

RPP Architects occupied Clarence Gallery from 1987 until relocating in 2006. Blue Hairdressing occupied 13 Clarence Street since at least 2006 until May 2017. Reuben’s sandwich bar has traded from 26a Linenhall Street since 1996.
