Overview

Ernestine Kreling, the widow of Joseph Kreling, a partner in the Tivoli Gardens Beer Hall and the Tivoli Opera House #1, opened this second Tivoli Opera House in 1903. The City of San Francisco condemned the first, wood-frame Tivoli building due to upgraded fire codes. Ernestine Kreling found a nearby building to remodel at the intersection of Mason and Eddy Streets. It operated for only three years, before it toppled and burned in the San Francisco Earthquake of 04/18/1906. Ernestine would operate this second venue with her third husband, W.H. "Doc" Leahy.
