Opera House Cinema

Actually, the building was designed as part of the olympic village and built in 1959 and used as the Nevada olympic team warming hut. It was leased after the olympics by William L. Tamblyn and was converted to the Squaw Valley Theatre. Part of the building was retained by Squaw Valley resorts and housed a cafeteria kitchen and some offices. The Tamblyns operated it until the mid 1980s when they sold their circuit of 5 north shore area theatres. I was a projectionist, theatre manager and projection and sound technician in the circuit.
