Brooklyn Opera House Co.

Description:

It's a bit of a surprise to find out that Brooklyn Centre had an opera house. The building is now long gone but at the time it featured not a flat interior, but rather one that made use of the natural terrain so that the seats were on a floor that sloped down towards the orchestra area. This was made possible by the ravine that was at the rear of the property.
The year that the opera house opened is as yet unknown, but a deed for the property from Russell Brown to Charles Kroehle in 1883 says that the building can be torn down and also mentions that the Corporation of Brooklyn Village had a lease executed in 1877. Unfortunately, nothing further is described within the deed.
