The Grainfield Opera House was constructed in 1887 from locally quarried limestone and locally manufactured bricks. The cast-iron facade was shipped in from St. Louis by railroad. The building opened in 1888 first as a newspaper office occupying part of the building then then retail and other business occupied a portion. The opera house hosted many events including vaudeville acts, dancing, and comedic acts among many others. The building has been partially restored and the restoration continues.
