The Harrington Bank Block & Opera House, in Harrington, Washington, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔(National Register of Historic Places Database ) (Note: The file has not yet been digitized.)〕 The Harrington Opera House first opened to the "largest attendance in the history of Harrington" on December 16, 1904. The 350 seat Opera House auditorium is part of the Bank Block, an imposing building sitting on the corner of Willis and South Third Streets. Designed and constructed out of locally made bricks by the Harrington firm of J.R. Burrill and Company, it was completed in December, 1904. The Bank of Harrington was located on the main floor. L. V. Sisum, owner of the Harrington Planing Mill, provided the wood interior and furnishings of the bank. Also on the ground floor were J.W. Dow's shaving parlors, R. Benchly's cigar and confectionery store, and the Harrington Citizen. There was a bowling alley under the cigar store and on the second floor was the opera house and a lodging house separated by a wall from the auditorium. The Harrington Opera House Society was founded on January 11, 1992 to preserve the old opera house and Bank Block Building. ==References== *(Official site ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harrington Bank Block & Opera House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
