Career

Most of Clacy's significant works are Gothic Revival buildings, but the Corn Exchange in Reading that he designed with F. Hawkes is in a style that Nikolaus Pevsner described as "free, debased Renaissance".[2] Clacy's son had joined him in his practice by 1862.[3] In 1868 Clacy and Son's practice was recorded as being in Reading.[1]
