Grainfield Opera House

The Grainfield Opera House features Queen Anne style architecture with a cast-iron storefront manufactured by the Mesker Brothers and brick construction across two floors.

The Grainfield Town Company constructed this opera house in 1887 after acquiring the land from the railroad, marking the early development of the community.

Throughout its existence, the building has functioned as a civic auditorium, hosting performances while accommodating various retail establishments including harness and grocery stores.

Located at the intersection of Main and 3rd Streets, the opera house maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places since its 1980 designation.

The structure encompasses one acre of land and represents a complete example of late 19th-century entertainment venues in rural Kansas communities.
