Located at 113 S. Main Street. The Lyric Theater dates back to at least 1924 when a 3 manual/12 rank Page theater organ was installed.

From the 1940s a photo postcard view of the Lyric Theater in Winchester.
Address given is wrong. The building is 113 S Main. It’s a bridal shop today. Facade has been modernized and changed, but generally matches the postcard. The current building does not match that on the lot on the 1914 map, which is the ‘newest’ available online.
Actually, it seems that the address should be 115. The NRHP listing dates that structure to 1924, so the organ must have been installed during construction. The building is offices. In the blurry postcard above, it was hard to tell what building had the Lyric sign on it.
The Page Organ Company didn't assign opus numbers, but their list of installations does include a 3 manual 12 rank instrument at this theatre in 1924.
