Grand Opera House
Grand Opera House, originally Child's Opera House, also known as Grand Theater, Orpheum Theatre, Clune's Grand, and Teatro Mexico, was a theater located in downtown Los Angeles. It was the first home of the Orpheum Circuit in Los Angeles and also the first theater in Los Angeles to exhibit Thomas Edison's motion picture technology.
Why it's on the map
The theater closed on April 5, 1936 and was demolished soon after.
Grand Opera House was built by Ozro W. Childs and opened on May 24, 1884, at which point it became the largest theater in Los Angeles.
In December 1894, the Orpheum Circuit made this theater their first home in Los Angeles, where they would remain until 1903.
