Notes

2009-09-21 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. M&ouml;ller, 1928). -Database Manager

2016-01-01 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. <br>The Midway Theatre opened August 3, 1918. It was an ornate movie palace that featured the organ and a 10 piece orchestra to accompany the silent pictures. The organ reportedly cost $5000. The Midway operated until 2006. It has since deteriorated and the building's long term survival is doubtful. Fate of the organ is unknown. -Database Manager
