Old City Hall Opera House Echoes Elyria Theatre Glory
Readable history of Elyria Old City Hall on Court Street, its 1867 city hall roots, 1878 expansion, and 1879 remodeling into a grand opera house. It hosted dramas, concerts, lectures, and the first Elyria Coronet Band, with later venues replacing it. the building now sits idle but survives as a landmark eligible for preservation grants.
