The Romanesque Revival style Opera House is located at 2020 Post Office Street in Galveston's Historic Downtown Cultural Arts District.

[4] In 1894, Henry Greenwall (often spelled Greenwald) raised $100,000 for construction of The Grand Opera House and Hotel in Galveston.

The Grand began as a major, live performing arts theatre but after passing through a Vaudeville phase, it slowly evolved into a movie house.

[7] The music video for the Mötley Crüe song "Without You" was filmed at the Grand on January 15, 1990 after their stop in Houston the previous night.

The carpet is a historic pattern of colors found in the decorative curtain and stenciling of roses and scrolls on the ceiling and boxes.

A large, bronze statue of a woman holding a torch stands on the newel post on The Grand staircase.
