Database Manager on March 25, 2014:

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in David Junchen The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, an Illustrated History, p.664. -- Style 190 Special. This organ was customized to have a 3 manual horseshoe console rather than the standard 2 manual design. The Jackson Theatre was renamed Capitol Theatre soon after the organ was installed. The Capitol is still operating as a theatre; fate of the organ is unknown.
