I have the organ that was originally installed the theater and would like to have a picture and more information about the theater.
The organ is a Wurlitzer style 235SP, opus #1616 shipped 4/16/1927 to the Great Lakes Theater. Fortunately the organ is complete in almost original condition except for the console. The Console was unusual in that the cabinet was built during the transition period, representing a combination of the two basic styles. In addition, five of the eleven ranks extended to 16'. It was shipped with a pressure (expressive) Piano, and all the standard percussions except for the Tuned Sleigh Bells.
Restoration of the instrument, which includes the addition of several ranks, is in process.
Thanks to lostmemory, for the name change info. I was flying blind here thinking that Mr. Summer had it correct. I’ll repost the organ info on the Buffalo Paramount page.
