Winchester Opera House

The Opera House in Winchester, Kentucky, United States was designed by the first Mayor of Winchester, J. D. Simpson, in 1873. The opera house was a gift from Mayor Simpson so that citizens of Winchester could see the performing arts. It hosted off-Broadway and classical concerts.

The building fell to industrialization and became broken from years of neglect. It was bought by Edward and Vanessa Ziembroski in 2003, and renovated.
