Colour photograph showing the façade of the former Operetta House, in use as a nightclub at the time the photograph was taken, within a streetscape of Rosemary Road in Clacton-on-Sea. Taken from across the road, the former theatre dominates the photograph, built in brick with stone dressings and made up of six bays. The four bays to the right form the main façade, with tall arched windows on the middle two rising to a curved gable and entablature at each level. Shops occupy the ground floor. The two shorter bays to the left have the entrance to the nightclub at their base, with a large bow window dominating the right hand bay, and a sash window topped by a pediment on the left. The theatre occupied the first floor of the building.
