Mr. Frog Winslow lived in a room apartment at the Warren Opera House sometime in the 1940-50's. A local artist and sign-maker, Frog was rumored to enjoy creativity and a nip at the bottle every now and again. He passed away in the opera house, and many believe he still haunts its halls. Frog Winslow's mailbox still hangs just inside the opera house doors. He is our favorite resident. |

Below: Photos of the ceiling demolition process. On January 20, the entire ceiling was removed and lath and paper tiles were removed. Piles of plaster remain and will be removed in the next weeks. Then, under-balcony sections of the opera house will be restored. |
