The PSTOS page I linked to says that this house might be the one that got the Wurlitzer organ in 1921, but it couldn’t have been. The organ had to have been installed in the later Star Theatre that was built in 1917. The Knights of Pythias lodge ceased to be the Star Theatre in 1913, when the name was moved to the Wheaton Theatre. The Wheaton returned to its original name after the third Star Theatre opened in 1917.
