George Brown - 2/9 Smith
Twin Falls, Idaho
 
Back to the Northwest Theatre Organ History: Residences page
George Smith purchased the former Olympia WA Capitol Theatre Smith organ in the 1980's.
 
Unfortunately, the only pictures of the organ we have found are these of the large Smith 16' wood Diaphones. George Brown of Twin Falls Idaho offered the large pipes for sale in a 1980's issue of The Console magazine.
