Windsor Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in Nedlands, Australia

Windsor Cinema is a 1937 brick cinema at 98 Stirling Highway, Nedlands, designed by William T. Leighton in Inter-War Functionalist style with Nautical Moderne steel balustrading. Cinema 1, the original auditorium, seats 500; Cinema 2, built in 1988 on the site of the former picture garden, seats 210. Both bio-boxes received NEC digital cinema systems in 2012.

Built in 1937 by W.H. Ralph and Sons for E.P. Nelson of Claremont District Pictures, the Windsor was designed by William T. Leighton with a projecting wing to the bio-box and a trolley rail system that let projectors roll between indoor and outdoor projection ports. The picture gardens closed in 1968; a second cinema opened on their site in November 1988.

The venue operates as an art house theater showing subtitled and independent films for audiences seeking alternatives to mainstream releases. It has become a gathering place for film enthusiasts in Perth.

The theater sits along Stirling Highway in a convenient location with parking availability for visitors arriving by car. It is well-maintained with modern amenities to ensure comfortable viewing for all guests.

The building displays distinctive architectural features including steel balustrading inspired by ocean liner design from the 1930s. These Nautical Moderne elements remain an uncommon example of this design style in Perth today.
