 | | The massive, three-story, brick Mt. Horeb Opera Block dominates the streetscape of downtown Mt. Horeb. |
 | | The Mt. Horeb Opera Block Company, which constructed the building, rented the property to a manager who was responsible for the public use of the block. |
 | | Like most opera houses, the building housed a wide-variety of community activities, including semi-private parties, illustrated lectures, high school commencement exercises until 1918, school plays, basketball games, speeches by members of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and political speeches. |
