John Piper erected this building in 1885 as the third in a succession of theatres he operated on the Comstock. Regarded as the most magnificent vintage theater in the West, Piper’s Opera House survives with its original scenery, raked stage, and elegant proscenium boxes, preserving a colorful era in American theatrical history. Many popular nineteenth-century touring stars and concert artists appeared here.
