24, St John Street

No. 24 St John Street is a town house or office, now used as an office, dating from the mid to late 19th century. The building features white-painted stucco on brick with a slate roof and has a deep double-depth plan. It includes a cellar, three storeys, and an attic, with a symmetrical facade that has five windows. The facade is characterized by a plinth, a first-floor sill-band, a heavy bracketed cornice, and a parapet at the attic level.

The ground floor exhibits channelled rustication and has a central segmental-headed doorway with double doors, a moulded architrave, and a carved keystone cartouche featuring a sailing ship, all protected by a prominent bracketed cornice. The segmental-headed windows on the ground floor have keystones. The first-floor windows are framed by shouldered architraves, except for the central window, which has a pediment on consoles. The second-floor windows have raised sills and simpler architraves with triangular heads, while the attic windows have plain reveals. All windows are sashed without glazing bars. The building has gable chimneys. The rear and interior were not inspected. No. 24 forms part of a terrace on the north side of the street but has distinct features that set it apart from the others.
