About This Property

This two-story building was once home of a fine opera house on the second floor, and Alex Simon’s general mercantile on the first floor. The upstairs opera house had a large stage, orchestra pit, a dress circle, dressing rooms, and box seats with gilded and velvet upholstered seating.
