Converted from a hotel that was built in 1882, the Huber Opera House opened in 1885. The Opera House was later converted into a movie theater in the 1930's. The Huber Theater closed in the 1970's. The building has been renovated and is now known as the Huber Opera House & Civic Center.

The building was also used as a nightclub/concert venue in the 1980s.

This site has a photo of the Huber Theater.
