Lyric Theater, Boonville

Lyric Theater, also known as Thespian Hall, is a historic theatre in Boonville, Cooper County, Missouri. It was built in 1855–1857, and is a two-story, rectangular Greek Revival–style brick building. The front facade features a portico with four unfluted Doric columns constructed of wedge-shaped brick. The building was enlarged in 1901. When originally constructed, the basement was used as reading room, the main floor was used as combined theater and lecture hall or auditorium, and the second floor housed the city hall, a Masonic lodge, and an Odd Fellows hall.
