The building that’s now home to Dickens Opera House and Dickens 300 Prime was originally built 1881 by William Henry Dickens, a relative of the famous author Charles Dickens. William Henry, the son of Mary Allen, came to the area in 1860 as a young man. When he built the opera house he was one of the largest land owners of the time. The parcel that the building sits on was given to his father by Ulysses S. Grant, the president. His goal with the opera house was to bring society and culture to a growing community. He furnished it with lavish sets.

 The building also housed the original Longmont college in 1885 until a building was completed on Atwood Street. The site survived the devastating fire which destroyed much of downtown Longmont and has continued to operate under many business ventures since.
