New Orpheum Theatre streetscene, c.1927
 
The New Orpheum Theatre opened in August 1911 at 69-71 W. Park St. An earlier Orpheum Theatre operated at 27 W. Park. St.
 
None of the pipe organ databases or opus lists include a pipe organ for the Butte Orpheum Theatre, but there were several news articles from Butte and nearby Anaconda in the 1911-1913 timeframe that mention a pipe organ at the Orpheum. Unfortunately no details about the instrument manufacturer or specification are provided.
