Piper’s Opera House
Inscription
Piper’s Opera House. This building, the most significant vintage theatre in the West, was erected by John Piper in 1885. Third in a succession of theatres which he operated on the Comstock, Piper’s Opera House, with its original scenery, raked stage, and elegant proscenium boxes, is a remarkable survivor of a colorful era in American theatrical history.
Many popular nineteenth-century touring stars and concert artists appeared here.
