ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
From: Lou Hurvitz, February 1999
Originally installed in the Capitol (later Paramount) Theatre, Saint
Paul, Minnesota, it was purchased (mid-to-late 50s) by Stanley Hubbard, the
owner of television station KSTP, Saint Paul. The instrument featured
prominently in KSTP's programming. Every night at 11pm, a 15-minute Leonard
Leigh concert was telecast. And, the instrument was featured on the 12
noon-1pm programming. When Mr. Leigh departed, Bob Paige took his position on
the organ's Howard Seat.
I'm not positive of the year, but sometime around (I
think) the early-to-mid 1980s, the organ found a new home in the Phipps
Performing Arts Center in Hudson, Wisconsin (18 miles from Saint Paul and just
across the Saint Croix River). A regular concert series features this fine
instrument.
