| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Dwelling built and designed by WC Torode |
| Registered Name |
Dwelling |
| Significance |
Bellevue Place, built in 1910, represents the point in the development of Torode's ideas from 34 Unley Road to Amphi-Cosma. It is the third in a series of houses that Torode built for his own use and is the first example of the application of his design ideas using details of American Octagonal and Craftsman houses and reinforced concrete technology in South Australian domestic architecture.
He built a house that not only broke away from conventional floor planning but also from established construction methods. The structural prototype that Torode developed at Bellevue Place was seen by the South Australian Railways as being a very cost-effective way to construct low-cost housing for its employees.
The innovative and entrepreneurial aspects of Bellevue Place set it apart from the other Torode houses entered in the SA Heritage Register.

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
