Title	Central City Play Festival
Creator(s)	Stoats, Eloise.
Summary	The renovated Central City Opera House, seen from the east, was described as "the finest temple of the Muse west of the Missouri." 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. Other buildings of Eureka Street are in the background, and two cars are parked on the right side of the street.
