Winchester Opera House

Winchester Opera House

The Opera House in Winchester, Kentucky, United States was designed by the first Mayor of Winchester, J. D. Simpson, in 1873. The opera house was a gift from Mayor Simpson so that citizens of Winchester could see the performing arts. It hosted off-Broadway and classical concerts.

The building fell to industrialization and became broken from years of neglect. It was bought by Edward and Vanessa Ziembroski in 2003, and renovated.
