Many Germans settled in Victoria, joining an array of Mexicans, Americans, Jews, Italians, and Bohemians in the culturally unique gateway community. Businessman George Herman Hauschild, a German immigrant, opened an opera house in Victoria in 1894, putting on Vaudeville shows, plays, and silent movies. A music store occupied the lower floor of the opera house. Today, the building has been restored and serves as an event venue.
