The Jaffa Opera House, at 100–116 W. Main St. in Trinidad, Colorado, was built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. [1]
It is Italianate, in fact High Victorian Italianate, in style. [2] The first floor provided commercial spaces; the second floor provided a 710-seat opera house with a 45 by 20 feet (13.7 m × 6.1 m) stage and a 22 by 16 feet (6.7 m × 4.9 m) proscenium. [2]
When listed in 1972, the main commercial space had been Hausman Drug Store for many years. [2] Photo in 2012 and Google Streetview dated May 2018 show it apparently vacant. [3][ better source needed] It was damaged in an earthquake measured at 3.5 on the Richter magnitude scale, and some experts recommended its demolition in 2011, but a community coalesced in opposition to that. A renovation project scheduled to be completed in 2019 was planned. [4]
It is included as a contributing building in the Corazon de Trinidad historic district, National Register-listed in 1973. [5]
