ALLEN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Mrs. Harry B. Longsworth, Secretary and Editor

The October and December issues of the Reporter (Nos. 33

and 34) are devoted to an article on the "Faurot Opera House"

in Lima. The story was prompted by the contemplated razing of

the Faurot Block. The Opera House, constructed in 1881 at a

cost of $225,000.00, was said to have been the finest between

New York and Denver.

The Society opened the season's meetings on October 30, with

a lecture by Wilhelm A. Amstutz, of Bluffton, on "How and

Where I Found Old Records."
