Brooklyn Opera House
From Brooklyn Centre Wiki
Location:
- On West 25th St. between Garden Ave. and Denison Ave.
Owner:
- 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.
