2011-03-21 - Identified through on-line information from Eric Cook. -- The theater hosted three pipe organs according to published news paper accounts examined while writing a history of theaters in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The first instrument was installed prior to June, 1921 and no earlier than 1913 when the theater was constructed. <br>The first organ was replaced in 1921 when the theater went from being the Wick's Opera House to the Columbia Theater. The new management replaced the existing instrument by a new instrument by an unknown maker. This second instrument was destroyed in a fire that gutted the theater in 1926. <br>A third organ was installed in Oct. of 1926, and continued for some time in the building. The theater was wired for sound in 1929.<br>The theater was designed for both live stage performances and motion pictures, but became an exclusively film theater in the 1930's. The organ was not in the building when it was recently inspected.<br>The structure was remodeled into offices in the late 1960's. -Database Manager
