The Opera House Project
The Stephens Bro's Opera House, constructed in 1884, has a rich history of serving various purposes. It has functioned as a vaudeville and music theater, a community event space, a basketball court, a roller rink, and eventually, a JC Penney's store. For over a century, this building has been a cornerstone of the Watseka community. Currently, we are developing plans to revitalize this historic structure.
