La Scala, Fortitude Valley, Heritage-listed house in Fortitude Valley, Australia.

La Scala stands as a three-story timber building at 517 Brunswick Street, featuring a terracotta tiled roof and enclosed verandahs with timber screens.

Built in 1914 for Dr Thomas Mathewson under architect Thomas Ramsay Hall's design, the structure initially served as both a medical practice and residence.

The building displays varying plaster ceiling designs throughout public rooms, incorporating leadlight details in doors and windows with stylized timber balustrades.

The ground floor contains three separate business spaces, while the upper levels provide residential accommodation connected by a central stairwell.

The structure introduces innovative architectural elements including large roof decks for outdoor living and a free-form layout organized around a stairwell bay.
