About this House
The Opera House located downtown in Historic San Saba across from the courthouse square is a two-story property with endless opportunities. A unique structure for the visionaries of restoration and potential possibilities. The beautiful rock wall building is awaiting a new owner to brand and design according to their needs. It's an open canvas for the creative mind that is willing to dream new life back into this wonderful structure. Location, historic background, thriving downtown, are definitely some of the multiple benefits offered with this acquisition. It speaks to be restored, utilized, and given the adoration deserved. Just the right influencer will make all the difference in this amazing building.
History of the Opera House - Built for W.K. Ray in 1897. The San Saba News occupied the upstairs of the building from 1898 until 1904. For a time, it was home to the Queen Hotel. The Alpha Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows purchased it in 1917. The lodge occupied the second floor while the first floor was leased to various businesses, one in particular, known as Community Appliances. (History provided by the San Saba Historical Commission.)
