Nice modelling there. I've worked on a few old buildings myself and some of the stone masons details are amazing. Good luck with the rest of it!

The Bucklen Opera House was built in 1884 by Herbert Bucklen. At some point it was converted to a movie theater and the name was changed to the Bucklen Theater. A Kimball organ was installed in the Bucklen Theater in 1915. Movies were shown at the Bucklen Theater until 1956.

In 1986 the Bucklen Theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places. That same year the Bucklen Theater was demolished and replaced by a parking lot.
