Pictures of the Opera House..upstairs before...

These are some pictures taken by the Historical Society of Edgerton. We were hoping to restore the building and use the Opera House upstairs. Hope you enjoy seeing what it was and imagine what it was many years ago when constructed in 1880. They had many plays etc up there. The stage and balcony were still intact. When I worked there, I used to climb those beautiful staircases...one on each side.. to the upstairs to store records. I would look in at the stage and imagine what it was like before years ago. One picture is names written on the wall...by the ticket sales for the opera house...it was behind my office when I was the utility clerk. It was fun to read what people wrote. Some simply signed their name and the date. You can see the ceiling in one of the pictures. (the 4th one) And if you look at one I posted earlier of the hole in the building, you can see that the ceiling is still there. It has an elaborate painting on it. In the last picture, you can see the balcony. Most people in the village have never seen the upstairs. That is sad.
