The Opera House
This building was erected by the
Town of Newberry, and dedicated
in February of 1882. An outstanding
example of Victorian civic architecture
of eclectic design, it was placed on
the National Register of Historic
Places in 1969. Now housing city
offices, the Opera House was for
over half a century the center of
entertainment for this community.
Plays, college commencements,
and balls were held in the auditorium
upstairs.
