This, Fargo's second Opera House, was located on the southeast corner of Second Avenue North and Roberts Street. It was built in 1893 just after the fire of that year and it, too, was destroyed by fire in 1912 and never replaced. The Opera House was built by Ben Hagaman (a Chicago capitalist) and run by the Walker Brothers (job printers and book binders) who purchased it in 1900.

The image right is from the June 7, 1894 edition of the Argus; scan courtesy of the North Dakota Institute for Regional Studies. This picture was taken less than a year after the Opera House was built.

In comparson to the lower, later, picture, it appears that an addition was built on the west of the building.

The location is now the site of the Graver Hotel which was built in 1917.
