2016-02-13 - In 1931, this organ was moved to the Palace Theatre in Albany, N.Y. At some point, believed to be the 1960s, the organ was acquired by Richard Loderhose of Jamaica Estates, Queens, who then sold it to Robert Gates of Mendham, N.J., in the 1970s. Gates sold all components except the console, which he gutted and refinished in mahogany to control his digital Walker organ. -Database Manager
