The People's Opera House was built in 1869 and was located on the east side of the street at 70 North Main.  The opera house closed about 1913 and later became Lakewoods Home Furnishings.  The building is still standing, but has been remodeled several times over the years.  The main staircase in the front of the theater was removed during an early remodel.  After Lakewoods closed, the building was converted into a mixed use of office, retail, and condominiums.^[1]
