Meridian Mississippi ~ Grand Opera House ~ Photo 1996 ~ Retsored 2006 In 1928, a department-store owner in Meridian, MS, set up a time capsule. He didn't mean to; he just intended to briefly close down a 1,000-seat theater inside his store – for complicated and intriguing business reasons. But the room – gloriously ornamented by a renowned theater architect – ended up shuttered, moldering and frozen in the Jazz Age until last year.

On my visit here in 2019, it looked like they were turning this building into a museum. There is already some rolling stock behind it.
