The Grand Opera House of the South is a historic performing arts venue and event space in downtown Crowley, Louisiana. Constructed in 1901 by David E. Lyons for $18,000 using virgin Louisiana cypress, pine, and oak, the 33,000-square-foot building is a National Historical Landmark recognized for its pressed tin tiles, hand-painted angel medallions, and original architectural detail. For nearly four decades, the venue hosted prominent performers including Enrico Caruso, Clark Gable, and Huey Long before transitioning to film and eventually closing.
