Built in 1908 by Joseph Taylor, this building, known as the Opera House, was considered "the wonder of the area." From its opening in 1909 until 1940, O'Fallonites attended public events, motion pictures, and live shows, both traveling and home-grown, within its walls. Saloons, restaurants, and soft drink parlors also were here. Many remember its later transformation into the O'Fallon Locker from 1945 to 1984.
