Caption: Marker detail: Opera House
Additional Description: The Whites were strong supporters of amateur theatricals. Their Opera House stood across the street from the State House, on the corner of N. Main and Park streets. It seated 1,066 and hosted vaudeville, orchestral and vocal concerts, boxers, jugglers, gymnasts, comedians end fancy balls. By 1910, competition from nearby Phenix Hall and the City Auditorium siphoned off much of its audience. Fire destroyed the building in 1920.
