Description

24 Silver Street is a mid to late 19th-century building that stands two storeys tall, constructed of ashlar with a pantiled roof. The building features a dentilled eaves cornice and parapets on the gable ends, which are adorned with moulded kneelers. A stringcourse runs along the façade.

On the first floor, there are four windows with semi-circular heads, each having projecting surrounds, elaborate Corinthian capitals, and keystones. The keystones display finely carved faces representing Hygeia, Aesculapius, Galen, and Minerva. The ground-floor openings mirror this design, but two of the windows are replaced by doorways, one of which is located on the right and features a segmental head above large double doors. The keystones above these doorways are identified as Satyr, Bacchus, Ariadne, and Silenius.

The building has a projecting plinth and extends to the right downhill with a two-storey, three-window extension that is of lower elevation. This extension is also made of ashlar with a pantiled roof, featuring a plain eaves cornice and a moulded stringcourse that divides the storeys. The plinth has banded rustication, and there are four pilasters that rise to the first-floor stringcourse. Above this, paired flat pilasters divide the first floor into three sections, which include three round-headed windows with moulded arches, foliated keystones, and sashes, as well as three four-centred windows on the ground floor, also with foliated keystones.
