DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Originally built in 1929 for the State Theatre in Philadelphia. After languishing for several years, the organ was purchased in 1967 by 21yo Jim Breneman for $1,510, who with his friend, Sam LaRosa, installed it in the Brookline Theatre in Havertown, Penn., where it remained until being water damaged by a flood in 1973. The organ was then moved to the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, Penn. In 1995 the Colonial was closed and the organ sold to the Chicago Historical Society.
