Built in 1884, The Grand Opera House has seen many, many patrons pass through its doors. Various well-know performers have graced its stage, including: Charlie Chaplin, Houdini, Will Rogers and Robert Downing...to name a few. It is now managed by Mercer University and still stays well-attended to this day. #focusedonmacon #macon #maconga #macongram #macongeorgia #maconmemories #maconprogress #georgia #downtownmacon #downtown #theatre #theatrelife #theatres @thegrand_macon @merceryou

The Macon City Auditorium. I've been to countless events in this building. Concerts, parties...my high school graduation was even held here. I think my favorite, though, was Widespread Panic on 11-02-98! #focusedonmacon #downtownmacon #macon #maconga #macongeorgia #maconprogress #maconmemories #macongram #downtown @widespreadpanichq #architecture #georgia #widespreadpanic

williamhorne: I have head before that the our Auditorium has the country's largest copper dome. Cannot independently confirm.

focusedonmacon: Very interesting, @williamhorne.

spanishkath: My mother went to concerts here in the 40s. I was a faculty chaperone to a high school prom here in 2008. Amazing structure.

focusedonmacon: Indeed, @spanishkath. Definitely one of a kind.
