In 1971, with almost two decades of disuse adding to its decrepitude, the building was threatened by demolition. The theater was purchased by a local artist, and given to the Earlville Opera House, Inc. A volunteer board of directors was assembled and restorative work began immediately. Since that time the Opera House has operated as a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization with a dual mission: to provide the highest quality arts, cultural and entertainment events to their rural constituency; and to renovate and rehabilitate the Opera House's historic theater. In 1974, the Opera House saw its first live performance in more than fifty years. 1991 saw the renovation of one of the Opera House's storefronts to construct the EOH Gallery, an exhibition space for local artists, and a locale for year-round workshops and lectures.
