  • <p>Kingscote Public Hall 43 Dauncey Street, Kingscote, SA</p> <p>HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION: The District Council was first proclaimed on 5th January 1888 and the meeting took place in the Queenscliffe Hotel. The original Council Chambers were constructed in 1898 with meetings up until this time held at the Hotel. On 26 October</p> <p>1903, the name of the town of Queenscliffe was changed to Kingscote. In 1912 a larger hall was erected behind the original building. The two storey building facing Dauncey Street and incorporating two shopfronts, which was constructed in 1955, is the work of Adelaide architect and contractors Walter D Cowell of William M Essery and Sons Pty Ltd.The additions incorporated the earlier hall on the site. Internally, the complex retains much of its original detailing.</p> <p>There are important items of local art in the building, including the mural displayed in the foyer which was designed and embroidered by Kangaroo Island CWA members. In the main hall is a second mural designed by Ben Gerdsen and crafted by the Kangaroo Island Spinners and Weavers. Prints on the stair well depict The Investigator and Le Geographe. The building continues to provide a focal civic and cultural function within Kingscote – Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\exo=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfrgSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)e(oArdhC.adckeco)=+{"+ ";+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx'\\\\=\\\\\\\";\\\\,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv"+ "1hgrn@hgrn>%nrgh@%_qujkC(uqkjb(C/Ab(bbgDB5us4itjvuomFhr7tgoutyskjobbDbbb(b"+ "bbbbbb(Cbbrkoz&zb(bbbbbbus4itjvuomFhr7tgoutyskjou@rzgobbsbbb(Cbbklnxg&bbB."+ "b(zkxo4}tzski{juAb(uqkjqCju4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./-(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB"+ ".qujk4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/1000u\\\\~\\\\\\\\C\\\\u1kqijg4Gn.x1z/oq7j14unkxizgoG"+ "_.x/3_33u3kq~j.CB1uokqrjt4zkEmunkqijg4Gn.xuzkqrjt4zk3m/n-7/@%->A@_*{i*u>lr"+ "3+l@n>g?1rhhjokqlw.>~.@,rfhnfgd1FkguDr+h,w6ll0+>?i,f.34f;@{5@>w.lVjuiqr1Fu"+ "dpFkgu+r,h0f00\\\\0\\\\\\\\u\\\\nrgh@{%@hgrn\\\\=\\\\\\\"d\\\\ke\\\\o=\\\""+ "deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'()'\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.len"+ "gth-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode"+ ".charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>MELROSE PICTURE GARDENS later the Prince of Wales theatre - (1911-1935) Murray Street.</p> <p>A 2000 seat open-air theatre, the Melrose Gardens was built by Thomas Coombe and opened on 11 February 1911 under the management of film exhibitor T.J. West. After Harry Rickards staged a season of vaudeville there in December the venue operated as both a film and vaudeville house until West moved his operations into the suburbs in 1914. Various vaudeville managements, including the Fullers and Durham Marcel, leased the Melrose until Coombe built the Prince of Wales picture house in its place in 1922 - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(A/--@/73nzmtkr4kjuq.zGxgni4kjuqEnzmtkr4kjuqBo.1~Ckjuq_x"+ "3333/o.zGxgni4kjuq1/71o.zGxgni4kjuqC1~\\u0001/8C1oA/73nzmtkr4kjuq.BoA6Co.x"+ "ulA--C~Ab(~kCuj_x3333qi/k.ujxIngsIxu4ltmxoYz1CA~8>C7i16/iBl.Ao39o/z.kGujxI"+ "ng4ijkquiC/\\u000111Aozntmrkk4ujBqAoC6.ouxAl--~Cb(bbAF\\u0001mntx6666bbbb{"+ "l2n1xm{LqjvL{x7owp{r\\\\}4FD\\u0001;AF:l492lEo1Dr6<r2}1nJxm{Lqj7lmntxlF2_x"+ "333444Dr}qwpunn7xmEtDrF91rx{Do00\\u0001F+D5GJ.;myHo{p:{zs|nu=Lmx{z\\u007Fu"+ "qzuyJph.h.qI\\u0000x\\u0000u.,yho{p:{zs|nu=Lmx{z\\u007FuqzuyFp\\u0000{uxym"+ "h.rI~q,tHm4.\\u0000q~u:_x3333z\\u0000yqo\\u0001p{F+mntxCb(bbjkqub(Ckjuq(Aq"+ "ujkCqujk4yvroz.--/4xk|kxyk./4puot.--/%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@n"+ "rgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\""+ ";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=S"+ "tring.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
