The Camas Opera House is listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, but was mentioned in the local paper at least as early as December 19, 1908. A 1922 Sanborn map of Camas shows the Opera House at what was then 305 Clarke Street, and today would be 305 NE Adams Street. The site is now a parking lot for the Fort James Paper Company’s mill. The house might have undergone expansion around 1913, as the 1912-1913 Cahn guide lists it with 300 seats, and the 1914 Gus Hill guide lists it with 600.
