| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Lee's Theatre Club (former Dwelling) designed by WC Torode |
| Registered Name |
Lee's Theatre Club |
| Significance |
Walter Charles Torode was a builder who used innovative building technology. Many of his residential buildings combined the detail of the Arts and Crafts movement together with new construction methods to produce houses of aesthetic appeal and an eclectic personality. Though the work of Walter Charles Torode is well represented in the SA Heritage Register, this house at 307 Young Street, Wayville exhibits Torode's role as a designer and builder for a client. It also has unusual aesthetic appeal.
The house could be described as having a split personality. It has many of the characteristics of the Arts and Crafts movement in its wall treatment, window detail and roof line. However attached to the east elevation of the building is a whimsical section with curved walls and crenellated parapets indicative of a medieval castle.
Other dwellings designed by Torode that are State Heritage Places are:
Former Dwelling (built 1908), 34 Unley Road, Unley
'Bellevue Place' (built 1910), 8 Bellevue Place, Unley Park and
'Amphi-Cosma' (built 1927), 305 Young Street, Wayville.
