Now showing: The 114-year-old Marysville Opera House reclaims the spotlight. [View all]
MARYSVILLE — In the 1980s, the Marysville Opera House was anything but grand.
Police were a constant presence at the nightclub that occupied the hall. Inside, the once-stately walls were slathered in Pepto-Bismal-pink paint.
Around town, there were cries to tear it down.
A few residents saw a civic treasure in need of a pick-me-up. The Marysville Fine Arts Committee took the first step in 1982 and successfully added the Opera House to the National Register of Historic Places.
