The Clermont Opera House Company was formed by Frederick
Becker, M.V. Dibble, B.C. Gruver, J.A. Ericson, and E.H. Appleman.
Shares were sold in the company, and building commenced at once.
It was finished in 1912 and was one of the finest buildings in the
county. Seating capacity was 500, including the balcony.
Because it was the largest building of its kind in the county, a
popular touring stage group known as the "Winter Lyceum Course" booked
its best plays of the season there. Movies, dances, and
orchestras also entertained the local community.
