Paul R. Marchesano on January 26, 2023:

The Circle replaced its Hook-Hastings organ with Wurlitzer opus 541, a three-manual instrument, in 1922. The latter instrument was broken up for parts in the early 1960s. After a renovation project in 1984, the building became home to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Today it is known as the Hilbert Circle Theatre. -- 2007 OHS Atlas
