It was a business providing entertainment such as plays, concerts, recitations, operas and so forth, and it could be rented for meetings. When it burned to the ground in 1907, many were nostalgic but few lamented it passing. They eagerly awaited the construction of a new hall that, unfortunately, never materialized.
