Way back in January of 1914, Bangor’s Richardsonian Romanesque opera house burned down and had to be demolished. The second opera house was the last in a long line of downtown Bangor theatres. In 1966 it became Bangor Cinema, then it was used for Bangor Symphony Orchestra concerts. The building was acquired by the Penobscot Theatre Company in 1997.
