Home Theatre

The Opera House was constructed between 1885 and 1893. It was a large auditorium constructed behind some existing buildings.

At some point, movies began to be shown. The 1914-15 American Motion Picture Directory lists an Electric Theatre for Eddyville, which may have been this theater. This theater is listed in 1927. The 1928 listings show a Home Theater with the same capacity.

That theater is still listed in 1931, but by no later than November of that year, this building, and everything to the east of it, had vanished, and a new theater opened on roughly the same site. This was likely due to a fire.

Much of downtown Eddyville has vanished, but the structure was roughly where the newer theater building sits today, although it was wider and quite a bit deeper.
