2009-10-31 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2016-02-22 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. <br>The contract dated July 15, 1925 with the United Theatres of America, Newark, New Jersey, was for an organ costing $5,000 payable in 24 monthly installments. The organ was shipped from the factory on March 30, 1926. The console was located in the orchestra pit and had a mahogany finish.<br><br>The theatre has been remodeled several times, and presently it is difficult to ascertain where exactly the chambers were located. The theatre closed in 1986 and has sat abandoned since. The theatre was sold in 2010 to a non-profit group hoping to convert the theatre into a three-venue performing arts center. The Moller is long gone, and there are no plans to install an organ in the revitalized auditorium. -Database Manager
