Moon retains the Opera House Loan stalls foreclosure suit
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
The owner of the Lawrence Opera House, 642 Massachusetts St., last week secured a loan that kept the building from being sold by the Douglas County Sheriff's Department and also stalled a foreclosure suit filed by a local bank.
The Opera House foreclosure trial began Friday in Douglas County Court. but was delayed until Wednesday to be settled, allowing the suit to be settled out of court.
Skip Moon, the Opera House owner,
obtained the loan from University State Bank, 955 Iowa St. He said it would be used to pay off Moon's overdue mortgage at Lawrence National Bank,
647 Massachusetts St.
"We have arranged a new mortgage, and the continuance was to allow time for the paper work." Moon said.
LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK brought suit against月on to foreclose
on a loan that Moon took out to finance the Opera House.
On Wednesday, Moon said, his attorney will ask Douglas County District Judge Ralph M. King to dismiss the case. The case is raised by Lawrence National Bank would not hold the title of the building.
"I don't have to deal with them anymore," Moon said. "As of Wednesday, they will be paid and won't have anything more to do with it."
Moon said the building was now secure from a foreclosure suit. He wants to remove the Opera House into it for performing artists and a recording studio.
Management Alternatives, an entertainment firm from Topeka that has attempted to buy the Opera House, was still interested in converting the building into a school for performing artists, he said.
UNDER THE MANAGEMENT Alternatives plan, which Moon said he preferred, the school for performing artists would occupy the building from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The audio studio would operate at night.
We had open access.
However, Moon was not sure whether Management Alternatives still planned to buy the building.
"There is still a chance, but I don't see them as a buyer — maybe a tenant," he said. Moon said he was considering doing the renovation work and leasing the building to Management Alternatives.
The Opera House has entered into discussions about downtown redevelopment. The third downtown redevelopment plan, submitted by Town Center Venture Corp., has proposed incorporating the Opera House into its project. Town Center developers would like the Opera House to be renovated at the same time a mall would be built in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.
