Medinah Temple - Austin Opus 558

This final tour of Austin Opus 558 was conducted on October 12th, 2000. Just days before the Medinah Temple in Chicago was gutted and turned into a department store. The organ was removed under the supervision of Austin Organs. This instrument is in storage somewhere in Chicago with an uncertain future. http://www.ohschicago.org/ For information about the producer please visit: http://www.VicFerrerProduction... © 2001 Vic Ferrer Productions

What dumb SOBs in Chicago allowed that theatre to be turned into a department store??? Wow, what a waste.

I remembe rmny times as a child playing this organ while my grandfoather was potentate. So many keys and buttons to pull. Watching this video took me right back in time. An unrelated side note: the CSO used to record their albums on that stage due to the acoustics of the building. I have yet to go in to Bloomies. TOo many memeories of the building as it was designed to be and originally used.

There's no excuse to destroy beautiful buildings and render their wonderful organs homeless. In the 60's up here in Rochester the magnificent RKO Palace theater was torn down to make room for a new apartment complex. Luckily the 4/23 Wurlitzer it housed was saved, but the apartments never came to be. Now the area is a overgrown parking lot in a seedy section of the city.

Is that organ still up for sale? I was thinking one of the ATOS chapters might be interested in acquiring it. We are always looking for new homes for organs, both classical and theatre.

I'm glad that John & I stopped by to see this before it was removed. "Historical Reuse" sounds so positive to some people, but saving the outside shell hardly qualifies as preservation. But, it does come with tax credits! Thanks, Vic; beautiful editing job.

Gee, you think Bloomingdales could of saved the organ and make it like Wanamaker's (Macy's).
