Notes

2017-05-05 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. <br>Identified by William Dunklin, citing information from this publication: The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, an Illustrated History by David Junchen p.634.<br>Wurlitzer opus 569 is a Style F installed here in freestanding "boxes" rather than chambers. In 1927 the Whiteside Theatre suffered a fire and was extensively renovated. Wurlitzer moved opus 569 to the Liberty Theatre in Lewiston, Idaho, and a new Wurlitzer, opus 1897 was installed in the Whiteside Theatre. -Database Manager

2021-10-28 - The free-standing swell boxes were installed in their own chambers at house-left and house-right at the front of the auditorium. The organ was a "stock" Style F. -Eric Schmiedeberg
