24-25 Joy Street retained its 19th century shop front and a fine 19th century shop gallery. In the 1880's there was a preponderance of drapery shops in Joy Street. The 19th century shops shared a common supporting beam at first floor level and their shop windows were made of plated glass, separated by identical, slender structural columns at regular intervals.

The buildings of 24-29 Joy Street appear to be consistently of mid to late 19th century date. Nos 24 and 25 are actually separate structures but have a unified street façade.

Two properties of mid Victorian date in their present form. Although there is a modern shop front the first floor original sash windows and slated roof provide an attractive contribution to the street scene.
