The Elms

The Elms is a detached villa, now serving as health authority offices, built around 1825. It features a stuccoed brick exterior, a hipped slate roof, and stuccoed brick stacks. The building is a wide block with a central entrance that projects from the front and is accessed through a single-storey porch, with a single-storey wing to the left.

The villa has two storeys, an attic, and a basement. The symmetrical front has three bays, an offset plinth, a raised band at the first-floor level, a crowning frieze band, and a plain cornice band. The ground floor includes a projecting single-storey porch designed in the Tuscan order, which is enclosed at each end. The inset opening is protected by a projecting portico, with columns at the outer corners supporting the entablature and parapet above. The doorway features a segmental arched fanlight.

On either side of the porch are sash windows, and on the first floor, there is a tall sash in the projecting central bay, set in an opening with a sill at the level of the projecting band and a flat arched head with five raised-and-stepped voussoirs. The side bays have shorter sashes in openings with projecting stone sills, and all the sashes have glazing bars with three over four panes. Similar sashes are present on the sides and rear of the building. The interior has not been inspected.
