The console was a straight stop rail above the 61 key upper manual. The lower manual had 88 keys to play the piano. The pedal was 32 notes. The Heights Theatre was torn down. Note, there was another theatre on the same block, called the Washington Street Theatre, not to be confused with this hall. -Database Manager
