“1978– the Barton Pipe Organ at the Michigan Theatre in downtown Lansing. More than 7,000 Barton organs were installed in U.S. movie palaces between 1915 and 1930s. Restoration pricetag for a century-old pipe organ is about $200,000. The reverse of this photo from the Michigan General Collection at the Archives of Michigan designated the man in the photo as Tom Thompson, musical director.”
