"In 1906, Edwin Holt White and Thomas Montgomery, of the Mont-White Theater Company, purchased this lot and erected the current structure referred to as the “The Opera House.”
The first floor was used for mercantile purposes, the second floor housed the stage and orchestra seats, and the third floor contained the balcony.

The theater was one of the more elaborate in the area and hosted many reputable touring companies with
ticket prices ranging from 50¢ to $1.00.

When no professional performances were scheduled, the theater was opened for civic functions, fraternal meetings, and plays by amateur groups."
