Ramsdell Theatre, Opera house in Manistee, United States.
The Ramsdell Theatre features a Colonial design portico with six columns and a horseshoe balcony supported by pillars extending to the tin-plated ceiling.
Local lawyer Thomas Jefferson Ramsdell invested 100,000 dollars to construct this theatre in 1903 after the Scandinavian Opera House burned down.
The theatre ceiling displays a painted dome showing Venus riding her chariot surrounded by cherubs, created by Frederic Winthrop Ramsdell.
The Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts manages the facility at 101 Maple Street, offering theatrical performances, concerts, and film screenings throughout the year.
Walter Wilcox Burridge painted the front drop curtain of the theatre with a scene titled A Grove Near Athens.
