|  Before the Grand was known as the Grand Theatre it was known as the Keokuk Opera House. The Keokuk Opera House was built in 1880 and was called the "new temple of amusement". According to historical documents it was by far the most pretentious structure in Keokuk and was built at a cost of $30,000 on the southwest corner of Sixth and Blondeau. This 60 x 68 foot building had an auditorium which could accommodate more than a thousand persons. The grand entrance was 20 feet wide and the stage was the largest in the Midwest. The Keokuk Opera House later became known as the Grand Theatre and continued to be the home of the city's musical attractions.. |
