Grand Theatre, date unknown

The Grand Theatre was owned and operated by George B. Guthrie who also owned Salem's Oregon Theatre and later built the much larger Elsinore Theatre.

There may have been two locations for the Grand Theatre. Records indicate there were two different organs:

2/4 Wurlitzer, Style 135A (opus #203) installed in 1919. (Judd Walton opus lists show "Guthrie" as the destination). This instrument was moved to San Francisco later the same year. Its current status is unknown.

2/4 Robert Morton, install date unknown. (Junchen opus lists show "New Grand Theatre" as the destination). This instrument's current status is unknown.
