aka the Monticello Opera House, this opened in the Fall of 1890 with a show called “The Clipper” with the Amy Lee Company. The architect was W.R. Gunn.

The facade is of red brick and the U-shaped auditorium is on the 2nd floor on two levels. In the late 1980’s it was being used as a Cultural Centre.
