Federation Bungalow
No 28 Silas Street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable 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 sidelights and double hung sash windows. The facade features a full width hipped roof verandah supported on timber posts. A render band runs along the front facade at sill level.
There are additions to the rear and a garage to the side.

Plympton is a cohesive precinct, where most of the places were constructed in the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of homes for workers and their families with a high concentration of small lots with timber, brick and stone cottages.
In the twenty-first century the render was removed from the brick, the verandah was modified, the roof tiles were replaced and a garage and rear additions constructed.
