Arts and culture

Opera House

The Pemberville Opera House is a completely restored and functioning opera house, located on the second floor of the town hall. Built in 1891, it is the oldest functioning opera house in the state of Ohio.[13] A 860-square-foot (80 m2) two story addition was added in early 2016 by Adohr Corp that created easier, ADA compliant, accessibility into the existing building as well as an Elevator to get from the first floor to the second floor where the Opera House is located. The second floor included the construction of a Men’s and Women’s restroom so that the audience would not have to walk down the back stairs to get to the first floor public restrooms.
