Hillside

Hillside is a terraced house built with painted stucco, featuring a slate roof and a red brick stack at the right end. The house has two storeys and a two-window range that is offset to the left. On the upper floor, there are two plate-glass sash windows, while on the ground floor, there is a broader 4-pane sash window to the right and a wide doorway to the extreme left, which is not aligned with the window above. The doorway has channelled piers and a plain lintel, similar to No 16, and features a recessed half-glazed door with stained glass sidelights and top lights.

At the back, there is a broad hipped roof from a late 19th-century rear addition, which is stuccoed and gabled to the north, with a rubble stone wall on the east side and a brick stack. The north end of this addition is painted stucco and includes a basement, two storeys, and an attic. It has a square bay window projecting to the left that rises from the basement to the first floor, along with two windows above in the gable.

The interior was remodeled in the late 19th century and features a tiled floor in the entrance hall. The inner doors have stained glass similar to that of the front door. In the added rear range to the left, there is an ornate late Victorian staircase around a narrow open well, with massive pitch-pine turned and tapered newels topped with urn finials and rounded pendants, connected by long ramped hardwood rails over turned balusters. The tread ends are scrolled, and the rail is scrolled at the foot on a pierced cast-iron post.

On the ground floor, there is a small room to the right in the original house, which has a late Victorian cornice, a rear-wall sideboard recess, and a marbled slate chimneypiece with a cast-iron grate featuring painted fruit and flower tile inserts. A long room to the rear right has a white marble fireplace (moved down from the drawing room above) with an iron grate and floral tile inserts. The similar first-floor rear room has a replacement Victorian fireplace and grate with tiles. The doors are four-panel and six-panel. The basement was formerly a kitchen and has steep slate steps leading down. There is also a cellar under the original house with rough curving walls, but the ceiling is made of concrete and steel, which is said to be from the late 19th century.
