Haskell Free Library and Opera House
What is unique about this historical site resumes in two essential points:
1- This is the ONLY, yes. THE ONLY public place that is built on the borderline.
2- At the first sight, it may seem like a municipality’s library. But, on the other half of the building, you will discover a 400 people capacity theater.
Moreover, almost everything is original, which means that we got a chance to see furnitures, ceilings, scenery decorations that dated over 100 years!
The theater continues to be used, I would definitely love to come back to see a show in this vintage and beautiful theater.
(Fun fact: a rumor said the Beatles wanted to perform at this site back in the days. But, because of the borderline complications, they never did:(
Credit: I’ve learnt all the above information form the wonderful and passionate tour lady. Please let me know if there are any erroneous info :)
