St Paul Civic Auditorium

St Paul, MN
The building no longer exists
Builder: E. M. Skinner, Opus 308, 1920
Manuals: 4
Ranks: 83
Pipes: 5492
Action: Electropneumatic

Notes: The Auditorium was torn down in the late 1980's and the organ moved to New Old South Church, Copley Square, Boston MA in 1985. Casavant did a lot of renovation and added maybe 30 ranks to the original 83. -- Roger Burg.
Editor's note: In about 1973 Virgil Fox played a concert at the Auditorium on his Black Beauty electronic organ. During the concert he decried the fact that a wonderful Skinner organ was sitting mute in the building. Pictures from Facebook show the organ at Old South Church, 11/2020.
