2016-05-29 - Kimball claimed this to be a new organ, but it appears to a rebuild and enlargement of E M Skinner Op. 545 that was originally installed at the Metropolitan Theatre in Boston c.1926; it was sold to Wurlitzer in 1930 and relocated by them to the Heinz auditorium; it sustained serious flood damage and was rebuilt and enlarged by Kimball as a 4/57 with a new console; it was later moved to Texas and broken up for parts in 1987. -Database Manager
