The Sterling Opera House (later becoming a movie theater) and Hotel complex was opened in 1911. The theater was closed in May 1959 and was razed, together with the block, in January 1969 to make way for the new Weld County offices and jail buildings, known as Weld Centennial Center, which was dedicated in 1976.

The two postcards titled “Opera Block” and “Opera House” seem to be from another, slightly earlier theatre. I have a postcard of this one titled “New Opera House” with undivided back, which should usually date it before 1907.
This 2017 article from the Greeley Tribune says that the Sterling Theatre was closed in May, 1959 and was razed in January, 1969. The article also notes that the earlier Greeley Opera House, located on 8th Avenue at 8th Street, had closed in 1908.
