This web page says that the Ferris Grand Opera House was at 213 W. Monroe Street, and was designed by local architect H. D. Hunter. The opening event was Gilbert & Sullivan’s 1885 operetta “The Mikado.” The 1907-1908 Cahn guide lists the Grand Opera House as a ground floor theater seating 1,000 and a stage 38 feet from footlights to back wall and 56 feet between the sidewalls.
