MEDINA, N.Y. — Built in 1865 during the final days of the Civil War, Bent's Opera House has found new life as a tourism draw in Orleans County.
The three-story building was revived under a $10 million renovation by Roger Hungerford and his Talis Equity LLC. Bent’s Opera House, at 444 Main St. in Medina, is now an event center, 10-room boutique hotel and home to the Harvest restaurant.
“It only adds to the visitor experience,” said Dawn Borchert, director of tourism for Orleans County Tourism. “Bent’s impact isn’t just felt in downtown Medina. It is felt throughout the county.”
