The new tiles are made of modern material to make them extremely durable in order to stand up to the sometimes harsh Michigan weather.

One of the most recent restoration projects has been on the west side of the Menominee Opera House. The bricks on this section of the building were deteriorating quickly. However, work done in the fall of 2014 has preserved this part of the structure.

The narrow stairwell leading up to the upper and lower balconies of the Menominee Opera House provides a good photo opportunity. In this case, HDR (high dynamic range) imaging was used to create the effect that is seen here.

The original wooden benches of the upper balcony seating are still in place in the Menominee Opera House. They were untouched by the fire of 1950, however, a thin later of soot from the blaze still covers them today.
