DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Originally built for the Orpheum Theatre in Quincy, Illinois. The theatre ultimately went out of business, and the organ sat unused for years. It was finally purchased by Bill Bartlow of Rushville, Illinois in the lase 1950's for installation in his home. When Mr. Bartlow passed away in 2017, the family ultimately donated it to the high school with it's newly constructed Fine Arts Center auditorium - the gift of an anonymous donor.
Jim Stettner on May 31st, 2024:
This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Identified through online information from Janet Gabbert (May 31, 2024): The organ has been refurbished and installed in The Rushville Industry [High School] Fine Arts Theater. Inaugural concert was tonight.
