Waymouth Street, south side, Waymouth Street frontage is 19 yards and Bentham Street frontage is 43 yards. See also B 4765, B 12983 and B 12984. This imposing four storey corner building houses Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society Limited. Woodards House, built in 1928-1929, is an outstanding example of a building constructed in the Inter-War Commercial Palazzo style. It shows the public style of F Kenneth Milne, a prominent South Australian architect, who regarded this building as one of his most important works. Constructed as the South Australian head office of the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society, the building reflects the commercial expansion and consolidation of the capital city centre during the Inter-War period.
