DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. An article with photo in the Milwaukee Public Library Digital Archives states, "the Downer Theatre opened over on, well, Downer Avenue. It cost $65,000 dollars to build, could seat 1,200, was ‘fireproof’, and came complete with a Weickhardt pipe organ (not to mention the orchestra they also employed)."
The organ was replaced with a 2-manual, 7-rank Style E WurliTzer in 1927. Disposition of the Weickhardt is not known.
