Chevalier Theatre is not listed on CT because it never was a movie house. It originally was built as the auditorium for Medford High School. After a fire at the high school in the late 1960s, the high school was converted to condos but the auditorium was preserved and remains a municipal building. www.chevaliertheatre.com

The article reference about the organ restoration can be found here:

Was the Strand organ destroyed in the fire? Thank you. To view photos of the ongoing restoration work of the Dayton RKO Keith’s theatre pipe organ, now located in Medford, Mass., near Boston, visit www.chevaliertheatreorgan.org

The Chevalier Theatre Organ Society in Medford, MA, is raising funds to refurbish and install the 1922 Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ that was salvaged from RKO Keith’s Theatre in Dayton. Does anyone have a photo of what the organ looked like in the Dayton theater? Thank you.
