DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Building has housed several theaters over the years. Currently, it is "The Ritz". Auditorium has been modified numerous times and was used for Vaudeville, movies, plays and now bands. Organ was removed many years ago. First (main) floor is now shops & businesses. The former balcony and upper portion of the theater including the stage is what remains and is still being used.
Building shown in photo was likely torn down and not just remodeled before Comerford/Ritz was built according to historic records.
