-- According to the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society website, "The Coliseum Theatre opened in 1915 and was designed by prolific Northwest theatre architect B. Marcus Priteca. The theatre originally had a four-manual, thirty rank Moller concert organ (opus #1964) installed by C. J. Whittaker in 1915 at a cost of $12,500. According to Eugene Nye's detailed records, the organ had 2,149 pipes, a 10 HP Kinetic blower and the console had 57 stops. A unique feature of this instrument was the placement of the glockenspiel bars individually along the edge of the main balcony. Another unique feature was the four rank Echo division complete with its own 1/2 horsepower blower. In early 1918, the Moller instrument was moved to Tacoma's Victory Theatre by Louis Maas. [Ed. Note: Moller's published List of More than 5200 Möller Pipe Organs gives the location of Opus 1964 and First Methodist, Yakima, Washington. See related entries for details.]
