Opera House Opens in Elgin Amid Rain Flood
The Elgin Opera House opened Saturday October 14 1890 with a concert and ball but heavy rain deterred attendance and many locals stayed home. About two hundred people attended a program featuring Mrs Woodard Mrs Stum and Mrs Hobson with orchestra numbers. Despite a fine show the night ended as a disappointment financially. A dance was announced for October 30 with seven piece Carpenter Orchestra. The opera house is a steel framed center for Fayette county built by local citizens and farmers. Gus A Stoghr led the company and Joe Butler built it. Elgin takes pride in the new venue.
