Hall's Opera Block
Hall's Opera Block, also known as Clark's Opera House and Avon Opera Block, is a historic commercial building located at Avon in Livingston County, New York. It is a three-story, two part commercial block completed in 1876 in the Italianate style. It has a symmetrical seven bay principal facade with iron and glass storefronts on the first floor. The top floor performance space was a central gathering place for the community, where citizens of all ranks could congregate to attend theatrical performances, lectures, dances, political meetings, and school graduations.[2] In November 2007, the village of Avon received a $500,000 state grant to renovate the historic building.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] References
