22 And 24, Nicholas Street

22 and 24 Nicholas Street is a hotel and warehouse, now part of council offices, built in 1869 by William Waddington for the Oddfellows Club. The building features rock-faced sandstone with freestone dressings and a hipped slate roof, designed in a Florentine style. It has a rectangular plan on an end-of-block site, standing three storeys over a basement with six bays. The exterior includes a chamfered plinth, string courses between the floors, three freestone bands on each floor, and a bracketed eaves cornice.

The principal doorway, located in the fifth bay, has an elaborate architrave with a cornice supported by large consoles, along with panelled double doors and an overlight. In the first bay, there is a smaller, simpler doorway in a similar style but without a cornice. The windows are all sashed, with square-headed windows on the ground and second floors, and segmental-headed windows on the first floor featuring panelled aprons. The second, third, and sixth bays have coupled windows, with red sandstone colonnettes and carved foliated caps on the first and second floors. The south facade, facing Elizabeth Street, consists of four bays in a similar style, with coupled windows in the first and fourth bays and a round-headed doorway in the second bay that has been altered into a window. The building forms a group with Nos 18 and 20 to the left.
