The 1937 building at 119 Jetty Road (pictured, right) was the subject of an online petition by the Adelaide Chapter of the Art Deco and Modernism Society.

Small cinema crusaders, architecture groups and locals were hoping prominent developer owner Andrew Taplin could strike a deal with Wallis Cinemas for a joint venture, which would have seen the cinema renovated into a seven-screen complex. Its facade would have been retained.

The site is likely to now be replaced with a mix of retail stores and restaurants, using a permit that was approved three months after the Odean cinema, managed by Wallis, closed its doors. Wallis shut the cinema citing poor patronage.
