The
Collingwood Opera House is behind the building on the
right with the semi-circular Opera sign. The entrance to the theater is through
a passageway in the center of the building which had been a
driveway for coal wagons. The first designs for the theater
were by J.A. Wood, a prominent Poughkeepsie architect who had
his office in Collingwood's building. Mr. James S. Post, supervised
the construction of the building and he is given credit as architect.
The City Directory listed him as a builder and carpenter until
after building the theatre, when he was listed as an architect.
