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". Clacy's son had joined him in his practice by 1862. In 1868 Clacy and Son's practice was recorded as being in Reading.
