The Opera House in the 1990s. The building to the left, an auto parts store, has been torn down. That area is now a vacant lot at the intersection. [This building is across the street from the Turkey Hill gas station]
Over the years, the building has housed stores, restaurants, and apartments. The bay window on the right was added sometime later, possibly when it was used as an apartment.
Many efforts have been made to restore the building, but it is situated in the flood zone, and needs many repairs.
