This is not the console of Genesee Barton organ (no longer extant). This is an unknown Wurlitzer console.

A photograph of the Howard/Paramount Wurlitzer organ console, orchestra pit and stage appears on page 136 of THE WURLITZER PIPE ORGAN: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY, recently published by the American Theatre Organ Society. The house opened with a Robert-Morton organ, replaced by the Wurlitzer in 1925.

The change of names from Howard to Paramount occured in 1929 as reported in PUBLIX OPINION.
