2014-11-15 - Debris seen on the console due to flooding of the Orchestra Pit. The organ was originally installed in The Reuben D. Behlmer Gymnasium - The Old West Gym (The Boys' Gym) when the building was built in 1929. It was moved to the Hanson H. Anderson Auditorium Building when it was built in 1975 (information received online when the console photo was submitted). -Database Manager
