Ellendale Opera House
ELLENDALE, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Restoration of the historic Ellendale Opera House got a big boost from the State of North Dakota this year, and the non-profit group heading up the renovation hopes the state backing will translate into contributions from donors statewide.
O.P.E.R.A., Inc. – the charitable non-profit seeking to bring the 110-year-old building back to full use – was allocated $250,000 in the state Historical Society budget to assist with renovations of the opera house. Work on the building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been ongoing for more than 25 years.
Executive Director Justin Meidinger, said they hope, with the state funding, critical repairs of the upstairs auditorium and renovation of two vacant street-level storefronts can be completed.
