Amargosa Opera House

Please view large. Southwestern Architecture of the 'Old West" fascinates

me. The Pacific Coast Borax Company built the opera house in 1924 as

the Social Center in Death Valley Junction, California. Yes, this is the

Twenty Mule Team Borax company that you remember on your cans of

cleanser. The building was abandoned in 1948 with the decline of Death

Valley Junction. In 1967, Marta Becket bought the structure and

transformed it into the Amargosa Opera House which opened again in

1968. The three images of the opera house create today's accurate look at

the building as a "motel resort." Unfortunately, it appears to be closed

again. I hope you enjoy these images and will take your time to comment.

Thanks. Larry

Beautiful sky in this capture Larry. Now I can see how very large this Opera house was!! Amazing place!

I agree with Gail that this a lovely image with a very appealing sky especially the clouds. As a personal preference, I might have lightened the blue sky just a tad. This is not a recommendation since it is a very fine image in its current state.
