2016-02-01 - Completed and installed by the Johnston Piano and Organ Company. This organ had electro-pneumatic action and a 4-manual drawknob console. Dedicated on January 19, 1914. Tally's Theatre moved to 554 South Broadway (as Tally's New Broadway Theatre) in the late 1920s. The Harris organ was moved to storage before the building was razed in 1929; ultimately, the organ was ruined by water damage. -Database Manager
