Old Petaluma Opera House
AKA The Maclay Building
145 Kentucky Street
Petaluma
Built 1870
Remodeled 1901
The Petaluma Opera House was designed by the San Francisco firm of
S.H. Williams & Son and built in 1870.
In 1901, Adolph Bloom hired Petaluma architect Brainerd
Jones to remodel the building for use as offices. Jones combined elements of the Eastlake and
Beaux Arts styles in the sheetmetal facade. The opera house today is the only surviving building
with a sheet metal facade of this size and ambition.
