Title	Central City Opera House
Summary	The Central City Opera House, originally opened in 1878, was reopened in 1932 after renovation. 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." The lower story has arched entrances with a covered main entrance. Billboards are on either side of the entrance, and a crowd of people waits in front of the building. Cars are parked along the opposite side of the street, and the First National Bank block is in the background.
