DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The origins of this organ are completely unknown. According to the geographical Estey Opus List published by the builder, NO Estey organs were originally installed in a theatre in Indianapolis. This is confirmed by David L. Junchen's Encyclopedia of the American Theatre Organ. There were 11 Estey organs installed in Indianapolis - mostly in churches - but also one in a BPOE Lodge (Op. 2273, 1924), one in the Lincoln Hotel (Op. 1984, 1922), and one in a residence (Op. 1913, 1921). Three of the churches were also around the ca. 1920 reference date given above: Grace Presbyterian (Op. 2031, 1922); Tabernacle Baptist (Op. 1972, 1921); and The Oratory of St. Philip Neri (Op. 1640, 1918).
