I have the console from the Marr & Colton Pipe organ that was installed there, it is in excellent restored condition, but not connected to any pipes to play at this time.
Date of construction and architect are on the cornerstone, I’ll stop next time I’m going by, and post them here. I think the archi was a local fellow, of a Hammond founding family, Hess.

I was in there briefly in about 1999, it was in solid condition,original, clean , smooth somewhat Deco style plaster, something about originally being a test theater built in cooperation with Western Electric for movie sound test, presentations in the 30’s. This would be an excellent accoustic “performance space”. Adjacent lots are now vacant for parking. Actually I’d like to install my little theater pipe organ in it as a studio organ.
