2017-05-07 - Identified through online information from Jonathan Ortloff. -- The theatre was razed in 1965, and RTOS was formed to rescue the organ and find a new home for it. The Wurlitzer replaced Skinner Opus 711 in the then-Masonic Temple (now known as the Auditorium Theater). The Skinner was moved to the Episcopal Church of the Ascension on Lake Avenue. -Database Manager
