"This structure was built in 1894 to replace the old courthouse building called Gothic Hall that had been moved to this site when a new court house was built. Although it was built by Danes in the area, it was open to the community for dances, meetings, lectures, political speeches, sporting events, and theater. The basement had a coffee house, restaurant and confectionary room. From 1904 until around 1920 it was often referred to as the Danes' Home Opera House. Many high school graduation classes were held here. Later the stage was removed from the auditorium so basketball games could be played."
