Coming from a background of culture in Germany, Gustav Kramer gave Elwood it's first Opera House in 1887 when he built the Opera House Block at the corner of So. A and Anderson Streets. The building consisted of five business rooms at street level that housed many businesses over the years. The second floor had three business suites that answered as offices to several doctors, dentists, and attorneys, including Herman Willkie, the father of 1940 Presidential candidate Wendell L. Willkie. The remainder of the second and third floors were the Elwood Opera House.
