We are still checking out the north portion of the old Bell Opera House, above Olden Days Cafe. The last couple of days, we have looked at the north stairway and trimwork. Just to the south of the upper doorway is this little pass-through. The wood has been broken, but the trimwork and latch are still intact. I am presupposing this was either a way to see who was coming up the stairway or to receive tickets as the audience filed up the steps. A couple months back, I spent time touring the two upper floors of the Harmon building and came across a similar pass-through.
