The Cedarville Opera House

The Cedarville Opera House, center of community life in the late 19th century, was orginally constructed in 1886, only to be destroyed by fire within the year. Whitelaw Reid brought the architectural plans for the subsequent structure which was finished in 1888. It is a 1/3 scale replication of the Royal Albert Hall in London, England. John W. McLean of Cedarville was the builder of the new opera house. It is still standing today and is in full use after nearly thirty years of neglect. In 1984 the Cedarville Opera House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Each year, a full array of programs including music, theater, and literary recitals are held for the enjoyment of the public. Plan to attend one of the fabulous Opera House programs next time you are in the Dayton, Ohio area.
