Magnificent, majestic and massive, Detroit’s old Federal Building and Post Office was a towering palace of government that was more than three decades in the making, took seven years to build — and only 34 years to outgrow.

Wheeler Opera House, on the other hand, was a fabulous place (The Wheeler narrative is right after another hall called White’s). It became known all over the theatrical world for its modern arrangements, its magnificent decorations and its stage and lighting facilities. Jeff Wheeler, wealthy business man and sportsman, was proud of this monument to his family name.

The point mapped is actually the address of Angell Hall. Angell Hall is an academic building at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It was previously connected to the University Hall building, which was replaced by Mason Hall and Haven Hall. Angell Hall is named in honor of James Burrill Angell, who was the University's president from 1871-1909. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angell_Hall University Hall North wing (Mason Hall) built in 1840, South wing (South College) built in 1848, Central wing built in 1871.

n 1879, the Pavilion Hall was built. It included a glass conservatory and was also used for concerts and social events. Oscar Wilde gave a lecture here in May 1882. The Hall burned down in 1902. It was replaced by the existing Victorian style conservatory known as the Palm House in 1910. \ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Gardens

Joe Vogel on January 5, 2012 at 4:52 am  The Majestic Theatre was an extensive rebuilding of the Utica Opera House, which had been built in 1871. When Sam Shubert took over the lease on the Opera House in 1900, he had the building largely gutted and expanded to create a space for a more modern theater. In addition to the new Majestic, the building housed a second-floor assembly room at the Washington Street corner of the structure, and this was converted into the Orpheum Theatre in 1901. 

Twain and Cable played at the Grand Opera House in Syracuse but it was not at the Wieting Opera House. The attached clippings, provided me by Kimberly Kleinhans, librarian, Local History/Genealogy, Onondaga County Public Library, describe the offerings at both venues.

Next door to the Sprague Block, on the southwest corner of State and Tioga, stood the Wilgus Block (1868). Brothers John M. Wilgus, an architect, and Henry L. Wilgus, a real estate dealer, built the Wilgus Block on the site of Dwight Tavern, an early "publick house." Wilcox and Porter of Buffalo designed the building. The Wilgus Opera House, seating 1600 people, occupied the third and fourth floors. Retail stores occupied the first floor, offices the second. The opera house was Ithaca's main entertainment center until the Lyceum Theater was built on South Cayuga Street in 1893.

The Troy Savings Bank was founded in 1823 and moved to its current location in 1870. In appreciation of the community's support, the plans for the new building called for a music hall to be built on the upper floors. In the early years of the 20th century the Music Hall featured performances from artists such as Lillian Nordica, Henri Vieuxtemps, Ignace Jan Paderewski, Albert Spalding, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Myra Hess and Jose Iturbi. In the 1930s and 1940s, artists including Vladimir Horowitz, Yehudi Menuhin and Artur Rubinstein played there.
