Notes

2015-04-07 - Wurlitzer "Style 285"<br> Factory date: May 16, 1921 -Database Manager

2025-02-13 - The Paramount Theatre was at 1066 Market St. The confusion over the address is likely due to the fact that the Paramount was known as the Granada in its first decade of existence, and there is a Granada at 4631 Mission.
