This beautiful building used to be located at the intersection of Jefferson and Government, across from Plaza Ferdinand VII. It was the Pensacola Opera House which opened on January 4, 1883. 🎶 🎭

The two-story Opera House had two tiers above the main floor and could seat 1,400 people. Its stage was 50x60 ft., with 15 sets of scenery, foot-lights and four boxes. It could be rented for $100 per night.

For a time the First National Bank of Pensacola operated out of the Pensacola Opera House. Pensacola audiences saw many of the theatre industry's leading stars in over 1,600 productions throughout its history. Citizens from all classes were regular patrons.

Unfortunately, the Opera House was heavily damaged in two 1916 hurricanes, the last of which reached peak winds of 110 mph shortly before making landfall near Pensacola on Oct. 18. The building was demolished after receiving further damage from the Hurricane of 1917. Salvaged bricks and balcony railings were used in the construction of the Saenger Theatre.
