 "The role the opera house can play in the future is found in its past.  The opera house was never used exclusively for theatrical performance.  It was a part of the fabric of the community and was used for anything and everything that a large indoor space could provide for.  The key to saving these treasures, then, is for the community once more to have a stake in the buildings.  If the opera house can again present events that the community deems important, the opera house will survive."

- William Faricy Condee

Preserving the buildings of our past is the preservation of our communities history.
