Title	Central City Opera House
Creator(s)	Newbury, Samuel S.
Summary	The Central City Opera House was renovated and reopened in the 1930s. Described as "the finest temple of the Muse west of the Missouri" and designed by Architect Robert S. Roeschlaub, the oldest opera house in Colorado is constructed of Gilpin County granite, except for the top and sides. Located on Eureka Street, the two story building is fifty-five by one hundred ten feet. The main roof, a shingled, mansard-style structure with an oculus, is offset by two smaller hipped towers on either side of it. The second story has large, arched windows with a sign over them that reads "Opera House." A balcony with brackets and spindles is under the upper two windows. A billboard is on the side of the entrance that reads "The Central City Opera House Association Presents 5th Annual Play Festival July 18 - Aug 8, 1936 Frank St. Leper's Production of the Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera The Gondoliers of 'The King of Barataria,'" and a crowd of people wait in front of the building.
