The Grainfield Opera House, located at Main and 3rd Sts. in Grainfield, Kansas, was built in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] It was built by the Grainfield Town Company, a partnership that had taken ownership of the town area from the railroad. It is notable for its Mesker Brothers cast-iron storefront. The building served as a civic auditorium and community center for Grainfield; it also held several stores, including a harness store, a grocery store, and an auto repair shop.[2]
