This place matters - Bayview Opera House

THIS PLACE MATTERS is a voting contest amongst historic buildings, selected by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Bayview Opera House is one of 100 finalists. Whoever gets the most people to vote for their place during the month of June wins. There are three cash prizes and we hope to take away $25,000, to benefit our DARE TO DREAM ARTS youth enrichment programs.

The South San Francisco Opera House (aka Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater) is located in the Bayview Hunters Point district of San Francisco. It was constructed by South San Francisco Masonic Lodge No. 212 and remained under their control until it was sold to Arthur Viargues in 1965. From 1888 to 1965, the building was operated and maintained by the Masons and served as a performance space and gathering hall for the Lodge and the community at large.

Vote for the Bayview Opera House here!!
