Style 150 "Special" console
The Raymond Theatre has a 2/5 Wurlitzer Style 150 "Special" (opus #1934) shipped from the factory on August 17, 1928. The instrument was removed in 1952 by Alden Bice.
 
Interestingly, after the death of Mr. Bice, the family donated the organ back to the city of Raymond and it was re-installed in the theatre.
 
The Raymond Theatre still exists and serves as the community performing arts center.
