If this is truly from 1905 it's a bit confusing since the Cobban Opera House burned down in 1880. It was replaced with the union block which had a large hall upstairs that might be where plays in town were performed?
Lots of thespians in town way back then and continues on todday. Very thankful to have the Heyde Center For The Arts for all kinds of programs now!
Our small city has so many great hidden gems!
