Opera House Serves as Activity Center Back in 1904, Uncle Ioe Theile brought native stone from Willow Creek to shape the walls of the Miles Opera House. Once a hotel in downtown Miles, the Opera House also contained the city's post office. Eighty years later, the Opera House still offers much to area residents. No longer a hotel, it is now the official meeting place and activity center for the Senior Citizens of Miles. Purchased in September, 1976, by the M.P.A., the center provides hot meals for the elderly twice a week, along with various other activities for its members. Quilts, baked goods, crafts of all kinds and exhibits of yesteryear are ever present. Recently, an upstairs auditorium has been added to the center. All the window dressings and curtains were made by the Senior Citizens. For a step back into yesteryear with a touch of down-home friendliness, just visit the Miles Opera House!
