Mansfield’s Romanesque Revival style Opera House was opened in 1889 and was designed by Chicago theater architect Oscar Cobb, as was the adjoining Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building, still standing and now housing the Mansfield Memorial Museum.

    1. Partello took over the Opera House in 1924 and had it extensively renovated, according to an item in The Moving Picture World of September 13, 1924. The Opera House was not among the five theaters listed at Mansfield in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, so was probably still a stage venue at that time.
