[1] The building was multi-functional when it opened its doors in 1911 at the time housing the Ohio village offices, its fire department and its jail on the first floor.
The building was erected in 1909 and operated as a fire station before it was converted into a theater in 1910 and being renamed "The Opera House.
In 1991, the Mohican Area League of Arts had hundreds of volunteers paint, clean, and refurnished the theater, and re-opened with the premiere of Dick Tracy.
The Loudonville Board of Recreation took over the theater in 1997, but due to the loss of revenue and a drop in attendance, the last film was slated to be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Ten years later, the theater is still going strong, providing multiple entertainment opportunities including the Loudonville High School Drama Club musicals.
