(Click on photo for full size)

This is inside the Grand Opera House which was located at the northwest corner of Front and Cherry Streets.  The El Paso Story reports that this building was a movie theatre beginning in 1912.  The building was air-conditioned in 1950 and torn down in 1971. It looks like the opera house had been decorated for a possible graduation ceremony in this photo.  It is now the location of Rebbec's car lot.
