Victa Cinema

Victa Cinema is a state heritage-listed cinema in the town of Victor Harbor, South Australia. The original building was designed by noted cinema architect Chris A. Smith and opened in 1923, but was extensively damaged by fire and rebuilt in 1934 to designs by F. Kenneth Milne. This reconstructed building is thought to be one of the first buildings in South Australia created in a style known as streamlined architecture. Its ownership changed from its first private owner, to National Pictures, to Ozone Theatres in 1928, before being taken over by Hoyts in 1951. After partial closure in the 1960s it was run by a series of independent operators, with an extra screen being added in 1998 and later renovations in 2005. Since 2020, it has been owned by the City of Victor Harbor.
