Reed Opera House and McCornack Block Addition, 19th century opera house in downtown Salem, United States.

The brick structure features retail spaces on the ground floor, with a former 1,500-seat theater occupying the second and third floors.

Built in 1869 by Cyrus Adams Reed, the building was initially intended to house the Oregon State Legislature before becoming an entertainment venue.

The venue hosted performances by Mark Twain, Susan B. Anthony, and John Philip Sousa's band during its three decades as a theater.

Located at 189 Liberty Street Northeast in Salem, the building now contains local shops, restaurants, and professional offices across two floors.

The construction required one million bricks and opened with the inaugural ball of Governor LaFayette Grover in September 1870.
