ARCHITECTURE
Simple Federation Bungalow
No. 18 (previously was no. 32) Silas street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a good expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light flanked by double hung sash windows. The facade features a full width skillion roof verandah, supported on turned timber posts. A small gable has been added to the verandah. A render band runs across the front facade at sill level.
