The Opera House block in Jameson, MO, was destroyed by fire on Dec. 1, 1936. The estimated loss of property was valued at $25,000.
The Jameson Opera House was located on the east side of Main Street. The Opera House occupied the second floor of the building which had businesses on the first floor – at one time the Farmers Bank on the north, Merrifield’s Café in the middle and a millenary shop on the south. After a fire destroyed the building, its bricks were used to help build Duly’s Garage and Alexander’s Market. By 2017, only the north side of Duly’s and the south side of Alexander’s Market are all that remain of the original opera house structure.
