The Alta Vista Railroad Depot originally stood on Phantom Canyon Road, where it served the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad line. After trains stopped running in 1912, the building was used as a school, and in 1976 it was moved to Victor to serve as a visitor center. Built in a style typical of its period, it has a canted hip roof with curved brackets at the soffit, a car siding exterior, and a pair of double-hung windows on each side. The Victor Opera House once stood in the park that now surrounds the depot. Built in 1902 at a cost of $50,000, it seated 1,200, with the least expensive seats costing a quarter and the best seats costing $1. Its opening exhibition was held on February 25, 1902, and the town took pride in the rich display of the new theater's interior. The first presentation played to a capacity audience as the Gold Coin Band performed and elegantly dressed attendees arrived for the occasion. Among those in attendance were the Woods, Cunninghams, Thomases, Latimers, and Kyners. The opera house brought culture to the town, and manager Stephen G. Cunningham aimed to please as many people as possible through his program schedule. All 1,200 seats quickly sold out for the dramatized version of Hall Craine's book, The Prenitent. Performers from across the U.S. appeared there, including Florence Roberts in Sapho; Charles B. Hanford and Marie Drofnah with a company of 20 players in The Merchant of Venice; Mary Shaw in Ghosts; John Griffith in King Richard III with special fireproof scenery used because of innovative electrical effects; and Charles B. Hanford and Marie Drofnah again in Julius Caesar with a company of 40 players, later returning with a cast of 30 to present Othello and The Winter's Tale. The Opera House burned in 1920.
