Postcards

Furthering my addiction to CardCow by collecting images of opera house postcards...

Central City Opera, in Colorado. The fifth oldest opera company in the US. The theatre was built in 1878.

 
The Opera House and Eagles Lodge Hall in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A 1912 history of the county says: "Sheboygan has an opera house in which her citizens take a great pride. It is a beautiful building, both from an exterior and interior view-point, and cost the subscribers to stock issued $45,000. It is conveniently located, on the corner of New York avenue and Seventh street. This play house was opened November 3, 1903, under the management of W. H. Stoddard, who presented to an admiring public "The Burgomaster," in one of the prettiest theaters in Wisconsin." Is it still there? Google Maps is too fuzzy for me to tell.

The opera house in Sun Valley, Idaho. 

White's Opera House in Concord, New Haven. Sadly destroyed by fire in 1920.

Park Opera House in Erie, Pennsylvania. Demolished in 1939.

This could get (has already got) addictive. I'll stop there for tonight.
