In 1916, he built the building which became known as Kobliska's Hall or Joe Kobliska's Opera House, which he operated as a pool hall, dance hall, movie theater, and restaurant in Weyerhaeuser. It was also used for weddings, meetings, roller skating and even for basketball. His wife Mary was famed for her delicious lemon pies which were served in the restaurant. At one time there was a livery stable across the street which caught fire and burned to the ground and caused the woodwork on the opera house to catch fire, but the firemen managed to save it
