A Wurlitzer theater organ opus 1402 style E 3M was installed in the Garrick Theater on 7/26/1926. Status: sold.
The address on this theatre is incorrect. The Garrick opened in 1920, was operated by various owners, Finkestein Theatre, Publix and Minnesota Amuesement Co. Closed in 1955 and has since been demolished. Now a parking garage with shops on the first floor.
The building next door is still called the Garrick Center.
Address should Be.

The Liebenberg and Kaplan Papers collection at the University of Minnesota has photos and plans of the Garrick. I have just purchased copies of some of these photos for a project I am working on. As a child growing up in Duluth I attended movies at this theatre and remembered when it was torn down.
Address on this theatre still needs to corrected in the header.

This web page about Duluth’s smaller movie theaters says that the house at 18-20 2nd Avenue West opened in 1913 as the Rex Theatre. The building was razed in 1956.
