Title	Central City Opera House
Summary	The Central City Opera House, partially obscured by a tree branch, was renovated and reopened in the 1930s and was described as "the finest temple of the Muse west of the Missouri." Designed by Architect Robert S. Roeschlaub, the oldest opera house in Colorado is constructed of Gilpin County granite, except for the top and sides. Located on Eureka Street, the two story building is fifty-five by one hundred ten feet. The main roof, a shingled, mansard-style structure with an oculus, is offset by two smaller hipped towers on either side of it. The second story has large, arched windows with a sign over them that reads "Opera House." The lower story has arched entrances with a covered main entrance. Billboards on either side of the entrance have announcements for the play "The Miracle Worker." An usher stands next to the entrance on the right. An usher, two women in dresses, and a man in a suit stand facing the usher and Opera House. Two retaining walls, covered with grass and separated by a wrought iron gate, are in the foreground.
