Newberry for sale
COVINGTON, OH – The Newberry Theater, a beautiful, historic and operational 400-seat opera house with over 15,000 square feet of attached commercial space is for sale.
The building, erected in 1910 as the Newberry Township Building, housed local township officials on the first and second floor and a Masonic Lodge on the third floor. The opera house, which offers crystal-clear natural acoustics and excellent sight lines from every seat, was home to traveling theater troupes in the 1910’s and 1920’s, silent movies and ‘talkies’, as well as school plays. The theater went dark in 1947, and then served for several decades as a furniture warehouse — which ensured that the roof remained intact and the building dry.
The commercial space continued to house local officials and a mix of businesses including doctor’s office, barber and law office into the 1990’s. The township sold the building in 1995 to a private individual, and it was used for private storage until 2005, when the present owners purchased the building and began significant renovations.
