The first floor was redesigned with two grand entrance lobbies, restrooms, a catering area, and a box office. On the second floor are 427 theater seats that are historic reproductions, a proscenium stage, and a horseshoe balcony. As planned, the opera house project inspired other renovation in the area, including the bank and courthouse buildings. After half of the downtown structures were restored, the city formed an architectural review board. Now downtown has a bistro, shops, restaurants, a bed and breakfast, and apartments.
Documentation includes numerous newspaper and magazine articles, promotional material, and posters.
