An Opera House once stretched west inside a now-vanished second story of this building. As many as 300 guests enjoyed live theater and silent movies there in the early decades of the 1900s, while merchants like J.A. Bonds and John Youngblood reached out to audiences between acts with ads displayed on the stage's front curtain. In 1942, the upper floor was destroyed by a deadly tornado, and the Opera House was no more.
