    Extract from the 2009 study

    Mythian is a symmetrically composed rendered brick mid-Victorian house on the north-west corner of King and St Andrews streets. The building is set back from the King Street boundary behind a low garden. A rendered brick fence of later origin extends along the King Street boundary and part of the St Andrews Street boundary. There is a vehicular entrance and shared crossover at the west end of the site in King Street. The east elevation of the house extends along the St Andrews Street boundary.

    Mythian has a hipped roof clad in corrugated galvanised sheeting. It has rendered brick chimneys with mouldings at their tops and painted terracotta chimney pots. A cast iron verandah extends across the King Street elevation. This elevation has a pair of double-hung sash windows with multi-paned sashes. These windows are not original, but a sympathetic reinstatement of Victorian-style fenestration, replacing Chicago-style windows that had been fitted to this elevation in the inter-war years. Signage that reads Mythian is also probably of inter-war origin.

    Some alterations have occurred to the rear of the house which have extended it along the St Andrews Street boundary and a small addition to the west side of the house which contains the entrance to the house.
