Skinner Organ Co.
Opus 338, 1921

Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: Sun Paper 4/17/1921 pg. MS6; 12/31/1921 pg 15. Sun Paper, 4/17/1921, announces the building of the theater and says negotiations for a $22,000 organ were being made. A classified advert of the theater gives some salient points about the theater including the organ costing $15,000 , being used for all occasions, and being of such even tone that no "vibrations can be noticed" Local organ lore says this organ was moved to Christ Episcopal Church and married to the 1872 Wilcox organ. (OHS Database ID 39827), which was a sizable 2 manual instrument.
