Thomasville Georgia ~ Perkins Opera House ~ AkA ~ Monticello Opera House ~ Historic Building

The Perkins Opera House (also known as the Monticello Opera House) is a historic theatre in Monticello, Florida. It is located at the corner of Washington Street and Jefferson Street.

The Perkins Block was built in 1890 by Monticello businessman John H. Perkins. This building included three first floor bays housing Perkins' mercantile interests - a general store and sewing machine shop, a hardware store and a farm implement supply store. In addition, Perkins built a stable behind the building from which horses, mules and wagons were sold. The second floor of the Perkins Block included a large foyer and an opera house boasting unparalleled acoustics and the largest stage in the region.
