The wood in which these hooks are solidly secured is worn smooth and stained with age. As I ponder what the Bell Opera House may have been like, I would love to hear from anyone checking out these squint shots to give their thoughts. It may be something told down through the ages, maybe pictures, whatever can be offered up would be valuable to pass along.

Squint Shot 013010
As I moved around the upstairs of The Decorating Center, the old Bell Opera House, I headed in the direction of the common wall to Olden Days Cafe. There are remnants of a worn-down, but sturdy stage where the imagination begins to run wild of what may have been performed at one time. Plays, musical concerts, oratories, debates . . . celebrations, balls . . . the list could go on. Above the stage, a series of hooks, as shown in this picture, run the length of the front of the stage. Did these hooks hold a curtain? Was scenery somehow attached?The wood in which these hooks are solidly secured is worn smooth and stained with age. As I ponder what the Bell Opera House may have been like, I would love to hear from anyone checking out these squint shots to give their thoughts. It may be something told down through the ages, maybe pictures, whatever can be offered up would be valuable to pass along.
