Once claimed to be the largest Opera House between New York and Chicago.

A huge brick building of multiple uses. The theater dominated the building but there were retail shops, a bowling alley, a pool hall, and perhaps some offices. Located on Corbet Street Hill, just below the Tarentum Post Office. Sadly, there is an ugly gapping hole in the ground where this grand opera house/movie palace once stood.
