The Marion Opera House is at 100 West Court Street, just off Godbold Street in Marion. The brick multi-purpose community building was built in 1892 and served as a police station, jail, fire department, meat market and town council meeting room, with a large auditorium upstairs. The two-story rectangular brick structure is a simple classic-revival design.
