In 1950 Peter Rehwaldt and I were 2nd year students at nearby Concordia College and both loved and played the college organ. Peter negotiated the removal of the non operating theater pipe organ and transported it to the attic of his home located just off campus. His Dad was a Concordia professor. We did not get anywhere started on reassembly due to Peter’s death from pneumonia in 1951. His family forfeited the organ to a scrap dealer. I don’t remember the organ builder name and I have no pictures of it; only memories. Maybe someone has info on the State Theater organ.
