Description
The building is valued for its expressive “Storybook” style of architecture and its association with the notable architect Ross Lort. It was constructed in 1942 for the the Lea family. Brenton T. Lea was a contractor who is known to have built two other similar “Storybook” houses, including an identical ‘B’ listed building at 587 King Edward Street. The Lea Residence is a rare and exuberant example of the romantic revivalist styles rooted in the Arts and Crafts movement popular between the two World Wars.
