According to Royal Commission Survey of Cambridge 1959: Houses, a pair, now. 5 and 13 Emmanuel Road, standing some 78 yards apart symmetrically between Parker Street and Orchard Street, facing Christ’s Pieces, are of two storeys and have walls of gault brick with stone dressings and slate-covered roofs. They were built as grooms’ houses between 1826 and 1828 and architecturally devised as the small pavilion-like terminal features to a long range on the NW boundary of the grounds of Charles Humfrey’s house, Clarendon House, which stood between Clarendon Street, Victoria Street and earl Street.
