Notes

2006-01-04 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> May have been relocated to Christ Ch., Episcopal, Baltimore, MD where it was replaced by a 3/38 Holtkamp, #1720 in 1959.</i> -Database Manager

2009-09-17 - Updated through on-line information from John Elwood. -Database Manager

2017-10-16 - Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: Sun Paper 4/17/1921 pg MS6; 12/31/1921 pg15.<br> Sun paper, 4/17/1921, announces the building of the theater and says negotiations for a $22,000 organ were being made. A classified advert of the theater gives some salient points about the theater including the organ costing $15,000 , being used for all occasions, and being of such even tone that no "vibrations can be noticed" <br>Local organ lore says this organ was moved to Christ Episcopal Church and married to the 1872 Wilcox organ. (OHS Database ID 39827), which was a sizable 2 manual instrument. -Database Manager
