2008-09-09 - Identified through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- Stadium closed 1994, demolished 1995. Organ was removed to be installed (along with a Barton 3/12) in the 19th Hole (owned by Bob Ropolo, in suburban Chicago). 19th Hole closed and the organ was moved to storage in Phoenix, AZ. In October of 1996, a propane tank on a trailer parked next to the warehouse exploded and created a big fire in the surrounding area. The warehouse was soon engulfed, and the two Bartons, along with a 3/19 WurliTzer from the Loew's State Memphis (Opus 1271) )which had been fully restored and was waiting installation in a planned pizza restaurant) were totally destroyed. -Database Manager
